Most of North Carolina's publicly funded general private school tuition vouchers this year went to students who were not enrolled in a North Carolina public school the year before, a new state report shows.

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction found 6,710 recipients of the voucher, called an Opportunity Scholarship, this year attended a public school in the state last year.
