The seductive simplicity of the voucher idea has attracted an odd set of bedfellows. Wealthy parents, who already use private schools, are eager to reap this hefty sum in tax relief, and some Latino and black leaders see vouchers as liberating for parents who feel trapped in mediocre public schools. Yet it's the unexpected coalition that opposes Prop. 38 that is most surprising: the conservative Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, local Catholic leaders who see it as welfare for the well-off, teacher groups and pro-voucher advocates who prefer targeting vouchers on low-income parents. These opponents realize that the $4,000 voucher provided in Prop. 38 would be a weak incentive for private schools to expand. The initiative's author, Silicon Valley investor Tim Draper, believes deeply in the magic of markets: that a voucher worth only one-half the actual cost of educating a child each year would spark the creation of new private school classrooms and a panoply of new schools.

School Choice How much government aid do parochial schools and their about public, private and charterschools in all detailed school profiles for california, Arizona, Texas http://www.edexcellence.net/topics/choice.html
Extractions: Links Introduction For many years, school choice was considered a theory espoused by free-market enthusiasts and libertarians. Today, the powerful idea that all parents should have the ability to choose their child's school is taking hold in neighborhoods throughout the nation. New supporters are speaking out every day, and some of the strongest voices can be heard in minority communities. Fortunately, for those who believe that school choice offers great promise in increasing the quality of our education system and reducing the achievement gap between poor and wealthy students, school choice is no longer just a theory but a reform movement that is beginning to hit its stride. Public voucher programs in Cleveland, OH, Milwaukee, WI, and the state of Florida are now underway, and many other governors and policymakers are considering school choice programs for their states. Thousands of students across the United States benefit from private voucher programs, most notably from the Children's Scholarship Fund which began with an astounding $100 million donation by businessmen Ted Forstmann and John Walters. And school choice options are growing within the public school system as well, via open enrollment plans, charter and magnet schools, and alternative programs.

Extractions: Why We Are Challenging School Vouchers Howard Simon, Executive Director June 1999 Now that Gov. Jeb Bush got the Legislature to approve the largest school voucher program in the country, it will be up to the ACLU (along with other allied organizations) to come to the defense of public education and constitutional principles. The threat of a veto by the late Gov. Lawton Chiles had previously restrained the Legislature, but vouchers were approved in the 1999 Legislative Session despite polls indicating that Floridians oppose diverting tax dollars from public schools to private/parochial schools. How did he do it? Largely by the deceptive repackaging of vouchers: Never call them "vouchers," they are "opportunity scholarships"; tell the voters they will be "revenue neutral," and that it's not going to cost them anything, even though it will be a new and huge government financial obligation to private schools; repeat that it is very limited, and just one part of an overall school reform program; portray critics as defenders of the status quo who are willing to leave kids trapped in "failing schools"; and pretend that the words of the State's Constitution ("No revenue...shall ever be taken from the public treasury directly or indirectly in aid of any church, sect, or religious denomination or in aid of any sectarian institution.") don't mean what they say.

No, the talked-of evil did not involve killer whales being fed puppies. And the subject? Legalizing drug use? Feeding puppies to killer whales at San Diego's Sea World? No, the proposal in question was giving tuition vouchers to California parents who choose to educate their children outside the public school system. If California approves Proposition 174 in November, it would become the first state in the country to allow parents to send their children to private schools at taxpayer expense. The voucher would be worth a little over $2,600, equivalent to half the amount the state pays to educate a child in the public schools. A Los Angeles Times poll released last week showed the voucher initiative trailing narrowly, by 45% to 39%.

Mr. President, I rise today in strong opposition to the private school voucher plan included in the conference report on the D.C. appropriations bill. At a time when our public education system is suffering under the weight of draconian cuts in Federal education programs, diverting precious resources to private and parochial schools is the wrong message to send to our Nation's children. This year alone, the Congress has already cut $3.1 billion from education programsthe largest cut in education funding in American history. This is money that would help children learn new skills, raise test scores, provide money for college education, and prevent violence and drug use in our schools. We should not be taking scarce Federal funds away from public school students. Instead we should take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to reforming our public education system, which educates 88 percent of American students. But, this bill would tell our public schools and the vast majority of our Nation's children: `We can't improve our public schools, so let's not even try.' Well, I reject that argument.
Extractions: University of California, Berkeley Footnotes Through an analysis of the social and economic transformations that have occured in urban areas in the United States since World War II, William Wilson demonstrates how such a devaluation of black labor has occured and resulted in the formation of an urban underclass. See The Truly Disavantaged. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1988. Several commentators have debated whether or not a "crisis" actually exist in education. In part, this is because the term crisis implies that there were "good old days" when conditions were better. In a discussion of the "drop-out" debate, Deborah Myers argues that the good old days really weren't sso good (The Nation, 1992) It could also be argued that conditions in schools are very uneven, and that the public is largely satisfied with schools that serve middle and upperclass students(Tyack and Cuban 1994) while those that serve the poor are doing an admirable job given the resources at their disposal. In Richmond California, the coach of the Richmond High School basketball team received considerable media attention and a visit from the newly elected governor because he forced the entire team to forfeit a regularly scheduled game due to poor academic performance of the players.

Extractions: Raise the topic of school choice and you have raised one of the most controversial and emotional issues of the day-especially among school teachers. Yet, after devoting 25 years to public schools, from elementary to community college, I have come to support school choice. Long-time friends and colleagues have been shocked. Some argue that, especially because I am Latino, I should never support sending public dollars to private schools. But my friends and colleagues are wrong. Giving Latino parents a stronger voice in their children's education-that is, giving them more choices about where they can send their children to school-can only improve their children's education and future. Back in 1993, I actively opposed a California school voucher initiative that would have allowed parents to use tax revenues to send their children to private schools. I took administrators-my colleagues-at their word that there would be serious reform in the public schools if vouchers were rejected. But today, conditions are largely the same, if not worse.

Rethinking The Federal Role In California Schools: Proposals For Reform According to Robert Teegarden, Associate Director for Education of the CaliforniaCatholic Conference, private and parochial schools across the country are http://www.pacificresearch.org/pub/sab/educat/rethinking_fed_roles/main.html
Extractions: Rethinking the Federal Role in California Schools: Proposals for Reform The Federal Role Only recently has the state adopted rigorous academic standards for its public school students. Since 1996, California has spent billions on class-size reduction. Nevertheless, a recent state-sponsored study finds that students in smaller classes are not necessarily learning a great deal more. Because of the costs associated with cutting class size, schools are often forced to sacrifice other programs such as libraries, music, and special education. Class-size reduction also exacerbates an already serious problem, making it even more difficult for low-performing districts to find quality instructors. The report concludes that more state dollars should be spent on ensuring good teaching, not smaller classes. Other problems abound. After identifying the problems, the briefing addresses how to improve current programs and critiques reforms now being debated in Washington, D.C. The Federal Government and the CDE : An Ineffective Alliance Nationwide, the federal government contributes between seven and 10 percent annually of all education revenues. Overall, according to another Pacific Research Institute briefing, California will receive just under $4.4 billion in federal education funds for the current fiscal year.
