Warning to El Paso Parents: What You Need to Know About School Vouchers
Texas is getting close to passing a program that lets parents use public money to send their kids to private schools . This sounds good, but we need to be careful and learn from mistakes made in other states.
In Arizona, their voucher program has no clear rules for private schools. Parents often don’t know if the schools are financially stable or teaching well . One private school, Title of Liberty Academy, closed just one month into the school year because it ran out of money . Parents were left without a school for their kids .
Even though taxpayers are paying for these schools, there’s no oversight to make sure they’re doing a good job . This makes it hard for parents to make informed decisions about where to send their kids.
As Texas considers this program, we need to make sure our children’s education is protected. We need rules to make sure the schools are accountable and provide a good education . Let’s stay informed and make sure our kids get the best education possible!
