Finally, if you want to know how some voucher expansionists try to manipulate the rules, you need to look no further than the proposed State Budget. There is a provision in the version that came out of the Joint Finance Committee that would change the voucher program's low income eligibility requirement. It would no longer matter after a pupil's first year of attendance at a participating school. This is a significant step in abolishing the low income eligibility requirement and demonstrates that vouchers are not about helping poor families, as much as providing a benefit to private schools. The notion that regulations designed to promote fairness for all parents and children are designed to kill the voucher program is ludicrous.
Businesses have to obey non-discrimination statutes.
Licensed public school teachers have to submit to periodic criminal background checks.
