Ohio’s voucher ruling. Sounds like Florida. Public $$ diverted to private schools with different accountability standards, while public schools must serve every child. Florida’s Supreme Court recognized this problem in 2006. Hard to imagine today’s randpicked court ruling the same way. 10thperiod.substack.com/p/br…

As Bruce points out here, this investment shift is almost entirely due to state
vouchers picking up the tab for kids already in private school.
