As a result, private schools will take the students who require less spending per pupil leaving the school district with less money to educate those with the most needs. Put it differently, a school district has 2 students and pays $20,000 total to educate them (Student 1 requires $5,000 in services, Student 2 requires $15,000). As proposed, if either student wants to use a voucher that student's family would receive $10,000. Private Schools won't want Student 2 because they would be losing money but they will happily take Student 1. Now, School District has $10,000 for the student requiring $15,000.2) There are certain fixed costs for items such as labor, facilities, etc. that cannot be adjusted easily if demand fluctuates. 3) There are two lines of case law that are contradictory on whether vouchers can be used for private schools affiliated with a religion. On one hand, these private schools cannot be discriminated against just for being affiliated with a religion, but there is also case law against the funding of religious education. Even if schools only use voucher funds for non-religious purposes, receiving those funds allows money that would have previously had to cover religious and non-religious purposes to be used exclusively for religious purposes. |
