Why does the Coalition for Public Schools oppose private school vouchers?
There are many reasons, but the #1 reason is CHILDREN. Tax money to fund private school vouchers would be taken away from public schools, which are already underfunded. Children who remain in cash-strapped public schools would be hurt by vouchers. We also believe Texas taxpayers cannot afford to finance private education as well as public education. Continued discussion of private school vouchers is just a political distraction from the state’s top priority: providing high quality neighborhood public schools that meet the educational needs of every Texas child.
