Welcome to the GOP's new education agenda: Loot our public schools for private vouchers
In North Carolina and Kentucky, public schools are the center of our communities. We’re proud public school graduates ourselves – and we know the critical role our schools play in teaching our students, strengthening our workforces and growing our economies.
NEW Data: The Voucher Explosion
The original narrative (ie. sales pitch) was that private school vouchers were intended to assist kids in poverty and in struggling urban public schools in gaining access to “better” private schools.
And in many places, that’s how it was designed. At the very beginning.

ESA Voucher Costs Video
This video from SOS Arizona answers the one billion dollar question—do Esa vouchers defund Public Schools? Arizona's K-12 system is based on a complex formula using state federal and local dollars and most school funding comes from the state which is funded by income and sales tax. Arizona state budget is tiny and underfunded in fact it's one of the smallest per capita in the entire United States. Only 44 percent goes to K-12 education which means there's not nearly enough funding for public schools and the 1.1 million students who rely on them. ESA vouchers draw directly from state funding and will siphon one billion dollars away from public schools this year
