The Issues

40-40-20 Freedom of Education Act:

For those who opt for the government schools nothing would change; for those that opt out of government schools this is how it would work:

Forty (40) percent of the cost of public education would go to the parent in the form of a voucher for the school of their choice. In most cases this would cover the cost of tuition. If it does not, it will be the parent’s responsibility to pay the difference by private scholarships and/or their own contribution.

Forty (40) percent will stay with the local school district which will now have the benefit without the responsibility. This will be a net gain and can be used to reduce class size and/or increase teacher pay.

Twenty (20) percent will go directly back to the people as a property tax cut.
