CHOICE IN EDUCATION – VOUCHERS (2001, 2002)
Opposition to:
- Using public funding for vouchers to enable parents to send their children to private elementary and secondary schools
Background: The study adopted by the 1999 Convention included research and eventual consensus on school vouchers. During the course of the Public Charter School study, the committee found that other state Leagues had positions on vouchers, and requested the 2000 LWVMD Council to modify the program to include a concurrence on vouchers rather than consensus. The Council agreed to do so.
