education funding is meant for educating children - not for protecting a particular institution.

fund students, not systems.
This opposition is from the Kansas Association of School Boards

They still haven't cut ties with the National School Boards Association.

19 other states (purple) have discontinued membership, participation, and/or dues because of the NSBA's actions.
why would giving families a choice "funnel" money away from government schools?🤔

Alabama Senator Kirk Hatcher (D): "This [school choice] bill will absolutely decapitate public education."
why would giving families a choice "absolutely decapitate" government schools?🤔
The establishment is terrified.

But low-income families shouldn't be forced to send their children to failing government schools without exit options any longer.

There isn't any good reason to fund failing systems when we can fund students directly instead.

Rep. Nguyen: "Why don't [private] schools have the same level of accountability & scrutiny as our public schools?"

Rep. Cantrell: "You're right. They don't have the same level of accountability. They have a much higher level of accountability. Families have the freedom to leave"
Nguyen: "But we are using public money for private schools"

Cantrell: "We're giving money back to the taxpayers and allowing them to use it how they see fit - to fund students and not systems. We already do this with the Pell Grant.. the GI Bill.. pre-K"
Rep. Cantrell: "The money follows the student. We do in pre-K.. we do it in higher ed.

All I'm asking is that we consider that same logic for K-12."
