Every unbiased study on schemes that divert taxpayer money to private education institutions show they fail students, families, and create a lasting burdon on local economies. Call them vouchers, call them ESAs, call them "dollars follow students" - the only one who wins is the private schools. We love socialism as much as the next kid; why shouldn't we hold our hand out and get our slice of the pie?
Only 3% of Iowa Students will benefit from vouchers, leaving 97% that won't be able to be accommodated by Iowa's existing private schools. From IEP and support services that won't be honored to LEGAL discrimination against LGBTQ+ students and families - we see that as an untapped market for our school. Initial enrollment may be low, but as more and more dollars are diverted away from public schools to private for-profit schools, resulting in school consolidation, some families will have no option but to enroll their child in one of our programs.
