Which means those good private schools will have more resources to extend to more students (assuming they're not at capacity). If St Albans, for example, gets $100k in coupons, couldn't they give scholarships to 20 [b]more[/b] low-income kids?[/quote]

No. St. Albans tuition is about $40K per year. If vouchers don't have income limits, then the coupon would cover 10K and parents pay the other 30K. Cost of providing the school will still be 40K so no extra money for scholarships or whatever.

For each student who uses a $10K coupon at St. Albans the amount the DC government receives from the federal government for education would decrease by 10K.

Example: high-need family currently receives $30k in St Albans financial aid. If St Albans receives a $10k coupon, St Albans only has to dole out $20k from their financial aid to that family. So, compile the coupons at St Albans and you have a less strained financial aid budget which St Albans can offer to MORE high-need families, or offer extra relief to current families. Or maybe instead of coughing up $10k, the family pays $5k or $0 (unlikely). Either way, a win win for all.[/quote]

Nope, no public funds for religious schools. [/quote]
