Dear Reader,

“Universal voucher” programs allow families to use public funding to underwrite private education or homeschooling for their children.

Supporters say voucher programs give parents more control over their children’s education by allowing them to use public dollars to choose the schools they believe are best, including those that are privately run. Opponents argue that vouchers siphon tax dollars from public education and allow funding to flow into private schools without holding them accountable if they fail children.

More states will urge voters to try to pass or reject private school choice programs in November.
