Public schools won disappear because of vouchers. Why not take the chance?
Our children are our future – Utah’s future. We shouldn’t risk their education on unaccountable voucher schools. The voucher law contains too many loopholes, unanswered questions, and little accountability for private voucher schools. Private schools do not have to be accredited, and they can employ teachers without a college degree or a state license. Furthermore, voucher schools aren’t subject to any performance audit requirements, can discriminate based on religion or ability to pay and aren’t required to dismiss teachers for criminal conduct. Our children are worth more. We need to invest in our public schools where there is the greatest hope for a quality education for all our children.
