According to this no incremental funds go to the legacy public school and if a student leaves that public school , the equivalent funding leaves that school.
So money goes from public schools to subsidize private schools.
If you like your zoned government school you can keep your zoned government school. Why do you assume if you give people a choice they will all leave their zoned school? Fund students and not systems. Money should follow the student.

The problem the pro-voucher team has is most humans in TN take pride in their local schools, know the principals & teachers at their public schools, and want them to succeed.
Team Voucher needs all teachers & schools to be seen as corrupt systems. Doesnโt match lived reality.

Dramatic much? Empowering families with options in education will not eliminate public education...unless everyone chooses to leave. In which case Heidi just wants to protect something because by giving folks an option - she thinks families will all choose that option.
I personally want to empower all families to seek the best education for their individual child. Many people already have options. Many donโt including many poor and/or minority families. This empowers them. If you like your zoned school - you can keep it.
