School vouchers in PA allow private schools to discriminate by cherry-picking students based on a student's grades, socioeconomic status, and even gender identity & religion. It's crucial that @JoshShapiroPA reject vouchers that discriminate students. #FairEducationForAll
This graphic from @NashvillePEF does a good job compiling the independent evidence on vouchers in one graphic. And these sorry outcomes are probably the most generous evidence-based take—attainment results have been flat more recently, including where test scores cratered.
TL;DR: what the voucher lobby means when they talk about their grassroots “movement” arkansasadvocate.com/2024/03/25/sch…
Years ago, working on a voucher evaluation led by pro-voucher scholars, a couple other then-junior analysts and I found a troubling pattern. At-risk kids left vouchers at very high rates. But they did better switching to public school. We published that separately in 2013👇

Arizona’s school #voucher program is the LEAST accountable in the nation! 😱 There are NO requirements for: ❌ financial transparency ❌ academic standards ❌ student safety measures 🗞️ Learn more @ bit.ly/VoucherFail
Vouchers have never been about “school choice” — it’s the school’s choice to cherry-pick their students. Universal ESA vouchers are handouts for the haves that rob the have-nots 😡 #VouchersHurt ✍️ Sign the petition to demand #VoucherReform HERE: l8r.it/RRQY
Some states do require in statute that parents inform the state within 30 days if they enroll in public school—thus invalidating their voucher for future. But legislation is largely silent or, when explicit, defers to private school refund policy, on payments already made.

Out-of-state billionaires Betsy DeVos and Charles Koch are sticking their nose into Idaho and running candidates against lawmakers principled enough to stand up against harmful private school vouchers for wealthy families. Disgusting. idahocapitalsun.com/2024/04/22/sup…

What a waste of money! Most vouchers are used by kids who never attended public schools. It’s a subsidy for private school families. iowastartingline.com/2024/04/24/iow…
Never, ever believe the initial voucher cost projections.
Never, ever believe the initial voucher cost projections.
75% of universal ESA voucher recipients are not leaving public schools — instead, AZ is mostly subsidizing private education for those who have already enrolled in and can afford private schools 💰 #VouchersHurt Read more here: sosaznetwork.org/2024/universal…
Vouchers defund public schools in two main ways: By shrinking the pool of general fund available for state aid, as taxpayers pay new costs for already-private schoolers. And 👇 as local districts lose small numbers of kids while stuck with the check of fixed operating costs.

Read the full string of messages. This is the reality of the so called "school choice" movement. It's actually schools choose instead.

Public schools are accountable to the public. Private schools are not. Let's not give public dollars to private schools! #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol #ncpta
The @BetsyDeVos people despise private schools. That is, for folks who paid for private schools themselves instead of the public paying for them. They want the government barging in and taking them over. Private schools everywhere must oppose vouchers now! #txed #txlege
How is it hypocritical for families to pay for their own private education? They didn’t beg the government to pay for it. Like the @BetsyDeVos people do. The logic behind vouchers is nutty. Why? Because it all boils down to one thing and one thing only. Greed. #txlege
It was a scam in Arkansas, it will be a scam in Texas…..unless you ignore the rhetoric and don’t fall for it!
A full 95% of the families who received a school voucher to pay for private school in Arkansas already had their kid in that private school? Arkansas taxpayers gave coupons to folks already paying for private school while defunding public schools. It’s a scam.
Today’s vouchers are a tuition forgiveness system for kids who’ve never been to public school. And a “garden variety tax subsidy” for already-private parents. It’s a massive new cost to taxpayers and a hit to state budgets. My comments @NOLAnews nola.com/news/education…
