Actually vouchers allow you to claim other taxpayers’ dollars and spend them in ways that align with your values.
I have had running disagreements with local taxpayers who live in lower end homes in my CT community.
They clam an entitlement in the schools because of property tax. They pay a. Average of $7000 per year, but the town spends $25000 per year in each public school student.
I pay $28000 per year on the main CTL compound house and have never had a child in public schools.
The proposal for vouchers would give those taxpayers paying $7000 in local property taxes $25,000 a year in local tax dollars to spend outside the public education system. I object to this.
It takes a minimum of 18 less students in our local schools to eliminate a common teacher. Have to shed 100+ students to eliminate an art or music teacher and 120 to get rid of a gym teacher. 600 have to go to get rid of a librarian
