Members of the Georgia senate are renewing efforts to create the state’s first general voucher program.
Senate Bill 233 would send $6,000 a year to parents to help cover education related costs including private school tuition.
While the state already has a voucher program for special education students…this new legislation would be open to just about any state resident who is willing to accept full responsibility for their child’s education.
Lisa Morgan, president of the Georgia Association of Educators said vouchers would undermine the schools that most kids attend. ..but proponents say parents would have a state-funded choice between a public and private education.
