Elizabethton, Carter County school board approve resolutions opposing school voucher bill.
The Elizabethton resolution says “public schools that provide a free and appropriate education for all, including students with disabilities, require all available state funding in order to continue to provide without necessitating an increased burden on local taxpayers or reducing services for students…vouchers often divert public funds from the many who attend public schools to supplement those families who have already chosen a different option of education for their children.”
