[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vouchers. $4B divided by 170K students comes out to over $23K per student. Parochial and private institutions could rent the existing infrastructure and deliver a better product at a reduced rate. Given projected declines in K-12 school age population in the coming years this would be a win-win for the overall Fairfax County budget as well. Come on Board of Supervisors make the bold call and be seen as a “progressive force” in improving education in America. [/quote] Won’t work. All it will do is enable mid-high income folks to pay for private while pulling funding from public schools where only low-income families will attend, eventually leading to the failure of the public schools (but that’s what you want, right?). Fewer schools will lead to consolidation of the schools, which will lead to longer bus rides. Oklahoma did this and they are 49th or 50th in the nation.[/quote]
