Does school choice drain money from public schools?
No. The Collins Center For Public Policy issued an updated report this year that showed that the program has saved taxpayers over $140 million in its first three years.

Conclusion: school choice does not drain money from public schools, rather it allows public schools to use their money to educate students more effectively.
