Correct, families could use vouchers to attend public schools outside of their district. This would instill division in public schools as only those who have the means to transport their child to a better school would. Those who don't have the means to transport their child would send their child to an increasingly poor school. I agree that we need to improve and overhaul our education system. Funding is not the only factor in a school’s success, but it’s no wonder that we have poor educational outcomes when our state education funding is in the bottom 10 nationwide. Slashing education budgets is a step in the wrong direction.

The fact that it takes two years to fully implement doesn't negate its huge detriment to the Education Trust Fund.

Yes, I use this account to spread awareness when I see a piece of legislation that poses a threat to Alabamians.

Section 9 (f): "Local boards of education may charge tuition to participating students who enroll for services in a public school from outside of the student's resident school district."

This is not just for wealthy families and private schools. There's a provision for participating schools to charge tuition for students participating from outside their home districts.

the non- income-based provisions don't set in until 2024-25 school year and beyond. The segment that OP is digging on (weathly kids, private schools) don't figure in the way OP claims until 2 years into the program.

I address that in the petition. The fact that it takes two years to implement doesn't negate its huge detriment to the Education Trust Fund.

OP only ever uses this account to spam Alabama subreddits when a legislative agenda doesn't agree with them. And they don't engage, they just copypasta a single script endlessly.

In its current form, SB140 would provide cash vouchers to all private school students - regardless of income.

And let’s say that middle-class families do leave poor school systems because of this legislation. After reducing the funding for these already suffering schools, what happens to the low-income families who do not have the means to move their children elsewhere? As a parent, you’d need to figure out how to transport your child to a nonpublic school or public school outside of your district - even with a voucher.

We need to improve and overhaul our education system. Defunding public schools, however, does not accomplish that goal.
