Thank you Poppa for answering for me. We all pay property tax already. It might go up slightly with the passage of vouchers but not enough to mitigate the benefit of paying tuition.

That is not necessarily true. In Indiana, I’m pretty sure that religious schools did not have to change curriculum. They still must maintain a minimum core secular curriculum and standardized test passage rates, but they needed to do that before vouchers were introduced.
Quoting from a CNN story “But in its unanimous 5-0 ruling, the [Indiana] Supreme Court said that [the constitutionality of vouchers going to religious schools] was not an issue. It said it did not matter that funds had been directed to religious schools as long as the state was not directly funding the education. The tuition, the court said, was being funded by the parents who chose to pay it with their vouchers.”
