Who is expecting to get anything paid for by taxpayers? We can afford to send DC to a $40K private. I am simply asking is if there will be a larger pool of applicants now that some students will have vouchers (and conceivably able to afford private school).[/quote]

[b]We are big fans of public schools but might rethink our position depending on how this plays out. We can afford to go private[/b]. [/quote]

We're in a similar position--we like our neighborhood public, where our kid is in early elementary.  However, we're thinking about the long game (and what setting will best serve our kid in the future), so we applied to private next year.  Also concerned about DeVos (we're in DC, where perhaps federal education policy could have more influence?).  Getting accepted at one of our top choices would be bittersweet--there are lots of good folks, including friends, working on the neighborhood school, and we'd feel somewhat like we're leaving them adrift in the life raft if we jump aboard the private school boat now..   :( [/quote]
