[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I have an idea: vouchers will be $15,000. However, if you live in certain clusters, you won’t be eligible to receive one. Each cluster will be assigned a number—for example, the Walter Johnson cluster might be cluster 995. If someone from that cluster tries to apply, our system will automatically block the application.

Additionally, families living east of I-270 may receive prioritized application processing. Schools will continue to be labeled and receive less funding, but if a school cluster improves its conditions significantly, it can be reclassified as a cluster where vouchers are no longer allowed. In such cases, only those who were grandfathered in would be allowed to continue using vouchers. Once those students graduate, they must return to public school.

So the kid living in an apartment in 995 with their grandparents and other extended family doesn’t get it? No, it should be income-based, starting from the bottom up. Poor kids first. Doubt so many private school parents would be so supportive of this system.

The basic problem is there aren’t enough good private school seats for all the students who would want to use a voucher. Then someone has to choose who gets the choice through the voucher system.
