VOUCHERS: “INEFFECTIVE, INEFFICIENT, INEQUITABLE”
The Unity Group of Chattanooga is opposed to Gov. Bill Lee’s proposal to expand a school voucher scheme and make vouchers universal in Tennessee. The group points to Arizona as an example of a state where a once-small voucher program ballooned to create a significant budget shortfall.After analyzing vouchers in other states in terms of costs and outcome, the Unity Group concluded that vouchers are: “Ineffective, inefficient, and inequitable.”
