Say no to vouchers!

The proposed education savings accounts, which would allow state funds to be used for private schooling, are a cause for concern. The absence of new school funding in the special session, despite calls for increased teacher pay and additional funding for schools, is alarming. The potential diversion of funds from already struggling public schools is a significant issue. It's crucial to consider the impact on public school finance and teacher preparation, which are already strained due to teacher shortages and stagnant salaries. Therefore, it's requested to reconsider the focus on vouchers and instead prioritize the allocation of adequate resources to public schools. This approach would better serve the broader community and ensure a more equitable education system.
