School Voucher Programs Should Be Clear About Disability Rights, Report Says

Good morning,

"A new report from the nonpartisan U.S. Government Accountability Office says many of the nation's voucher programs — and the private schools that participate in them — aren't giving parents the information they need to make an informed choice, especially parents of kids with disabilities." 

Today we are sharing an article from npr.org entitled 'School Voucher Programs Should Be Clear About Disability Rights, Report Says.' As a problem that some parents are facing, this article advocates for some changes that need to happen in order for students to the right assistance possible.

"School voucher programs need (at least) three key ingredients:

1. Multiple schools (don't roll your eyes, city dwellers, this one's a brick wall for many rural parents).

2. A system that makes private schools affordable for low-income parents. Choice isn't choice if it's only the rich who get to choose.

3. And transparency, so that a child's caregiver can review the options and make an informed choice."
