Demand transparency for your tax dollars A recent article in the Tampa Bay TImes titled "Florida school vouchers can pay for TVs, kayaks and theme parks. Is that OK?" outlined the many ways tax payer dollars can be used in the form of school vouchers by families who send their child to private school or who homeschool. "Theme park passes, 55-inch TVs, and stand-up paddleboards are among the approved items that recipients can buy to use at home. The purchases can be made by parents who home-school their children or send them to private schools, if any voucher money remains after paying tuition and fees." There is little to no oversight on how our tax dollars are being spent on voucher programs which drain funding from our public schools. Tell Florida lawmakers that you demand transparency for our tax dollars. |
