Some of that is your district itself, PM Mama. I'm pretty sure I know which one you stayed at (Pirates?)and the district saw vouchers as the opportunity to gobble up students and therefore more money without screening who they allowed to use them. Students who've been expelled or suspended shouldn't be allowed to barge in other public schools. They need home schooling or something. They have also flocked to a charter school in the area (Summit) which was to have been an extraordinary school when they opened. It's now filled with kids who were kicked out of other schools. So, even with "School of Choice" vouchers, the school district should pick and choose who they will take or they end up with a lot of problem children.

It's still a downside of voucher systems (which I don't agree with either)

Lol yep you're right! Always true to my maroon and gold!

And you're right about the screening thing. They were only supposed to let in 6 kids for each grade and all of a sudden there was a boom in the amount of students.
