Wotruba said research shows smaller class sizes and increased parental involvement are more effective in improving schools. We would be using public money to support two school systems. Wotruba said public money should stay in public school systems and not be used for private or parochial education. Private schools can pick and choose the students to be admitted. They do not have to reveal how they spend their money.
Public schools do.
Proposal 1 would require teacher testing on academic subjects in both public and nonpublic schools that redeem tuition vouchers. Look at Milwaukee's program. Their program works. But Wotruba highlighted several differences between Michigan's proposal and the other voucher systems. Other programs have a lottery system where if there are more students than openings in the private school system, students will be chosen at random.
