you explain to me what the rationale would be to refund money to families (kids, whoever) that don't "use it all"? Given the fact that I pay dearly for services I don't use I would never support this. The voucher is in the form of a check paid to the school of choice in your name. Money is not refunded to families but kept in a trust fund. Net Savings from Public School Departures. As children move from public schools to scholarships redeeming schools, the state will save money that would have been spent on them in public schools. (I read that as less taxes) We estimate that the state would initially save $7000 for each pupil leaving the system. There is more information on short-term effects and long-term effects at the URL. BTW No children here either.
