This is much needed. On the one hand, some bills seem to want more interference with the way schools manage their budgets. But this bill is needed to oversee how these vouchers are being spent. I am particularly concerned that there is no evaluation of the quality of education being funded. People can get vouchers for home schooling, though there is no way to assess what kind of education is being funded. Another concern is that vouchers are going to private schools, or schools out of state and not helping the local school districts that educate our local students.
