“Fund the student, not the system.” is code for “we don’t give two shits about disabled or rural kids.”

Typically no, #schoolvouchers don’t cover full tuition. And the few schools that aren’t sub-prime providers and do offer a good #education will often deduct the voucher from student financial aid packages. https://twitter.com/amkrspz/status/1618945335220662273

One of Loudoun’s 2 charter schools hosts an event with the right wing Association of American Educators then closes school for a week to send staff to New Orleans 🤷🏻‍♀️ Do we pay for PD like this for other @LCPSOfficial teachers?
