D.C. Vouchers: Better Results at a QUARTER the Cost Posted by Andrew J. Coulson The latest federal study of the D.C. voucher program finds that voucher students have pulled significantly ahead of their public school peers in reading and perform at least as well as public school students in math. It also reports that the average tuition at the voucher schools is $6,620. That is ONE QUARTER what the District of Columbia spends per pupil on education ($26,555), according to the District's own fiscal year 2009 budget. Better results at a quarter the cost. And Democrats in Congress have sunset its funding and are trying to kill it. Shame on them. If President Obama believes his own rhetoric on the need for greater efficiency in government education spending and for improved educational opportunities, he should work with the members of his own party to continue and grow this program. cato-at-liberty.org
