Indiana public schools wage unusual ad campaign | Fox News: "If a large number of families abandon local districts, millions of dollars could be drained from the state's public education system."
That seems like a bad focus. They shouldn't focus on how much money the "state's public education system" gets but by how the students are served.
"A district loses $5,300 to $8,400 for each student who leaves."
"a voucher worth $4,500 at a small private school"
Does the state actually benefit financially from students that leave public schools?
"In Fort Wayne, public schools lost 392 students to vouchers last year, the most in the state. That cost the district more than $2.6 million in state aid and led officials to cut 10 art, music and physical education teaching positions at elementary schools."
That seems like a very unbalanced way to handle a change in students.
