Confirmed ...vouchers were a handout to wealthy.

He will not stop being wrong on this topic. He revels in it.
I wonder how many are black and below the poverty level. We already know how many are special education.According to the certified enrollment numbers Regina Jr Sr High grew from 363 to 400 and the elementary school grew from 472 to 509. While that is a large increase in enrollment, it is 70 new students not 138.

If it's a 7-12 school some of those new numbers could be making up for students who graduated. If the class sizes are near equal, that would account for 60ish new students. OTOH, if those "new" students are coming from a traditional private feeder school, it's a bit disingenuous to count them. No idea if that's how they worked it or not, of course.According to the certified enrollment numbers Regina Jr Sr High grew from 363 to 400 and the elementary school grew from 472 to 509.

Definitely will be bigger as the welfare checks start getting issued to the wealthy in the next few years. Rather than better, it will be more of a travesty. Taxpayers payouts will be funding the college accounts of kids from very wealthy families. Don’t forget the part of this that families can pay on their own and the welfare checks can go into their children’s college savings accounts.
"...if a student is qualified and there is room, the PRIVATE school will gladly let the student in."
So...are those limitations allowed to public schools that accept public money? Maybe Iowa public schools should just declare that they are now private "academies" and start excluding the students that don't "qualify" or who exceed their "space" limitations. They'll still get the money for the students they accept and don't have to deal with the kids no one else wants to help.
These numbers are just the reported certified enrollment from 22-23 and 23-24 school years. Both the elementary and 7-12 schools would be replacing classes that move on. That would be accounted for in the certified enrollment. It appears the K-12 school increased by 70 students this school year at least on count day.
This is what abby has resorted to - referencing Cuba as his support.
The point here, dumbass, is that the private schools can exclude those they don't want. Public schools can't.
If you want to go to a private school pay for it or get a scholarship. Don't expect the taxpayers to foot the bill.
For now. Kim is taking a beating on this as it becomes more common knowledge. Along with the AEA plans and forcing kids to sing the National Anthem. My guess is she will appoint herself to the Senate rather than face another election.
In any event the discussion on this policy exposes the selfish bastards who support it only because it benefits them personally regardless of it being a sham.
"As long as there is room".
That's the mantra privates will use to select who they accept.
Get me a list of private schools that will be building additional facilities to accept more students.
I'll wait.
I just love how all our resident MAGA types love taxation, big government, handouts, and free loading now. Hippy socialists. #thisisdifferent #thankjesus
What's your point, that private schools should act as if they are public schools? They are not, but my point is if the student qualifies and there is room, they will be admitted. That is the definition of "private". Do you want a private school to admit trouble making cretins just because of vouchers?
🤣
I'm sure as soon as there is a line of students wanting in, and thanks to waivers tuition is no longer an obstacle, private schools will build additional capacity. Why would they do that now if there is no need, just give them tuition, students and time.
Yes. If they are taking taxpayer money to educate our youth they need to adhere to the same standards as our public schools do. And their "qualifications" should be published and available for all to see.What's your point, that private schools should act as if they are public schools?

Do you at least admit that it is the school's choice and not the parent's?
Private interest funded off the backs of public tax dollars. God damn freeloading socialist hippy. Get a job and contribute to society for once.
Don't worry tarheelbybirth, help is on the way. As soon as the students who were previously trapped in under performing union run schools are able to go to better safer private schools, there will be plenty of room in the public schools for all the future democratic voters left behind.
I'm not sure if you understand how taxes work. In case you aren't aware, taxes are paid by private citizens with funds generally obtained in the private sector.
See, this is why no one can take you seriously. Private schools are raising their tuition because of vouchers. The voucher doesn't cover all of it which eliminates every family who can't afford to pay whatever the difference is. It's a boon to families who were already paying for school unless the tuition goes up more than the voucher is worth. The school/church is a huge benefactor and they can continue to use tuition as a means to keep out the undesirables.
No doubt they will continue to build on to the churches and schools with these subsidies.
Quit always looking for handouts and the government to bail you out. I know freeloader mentality when I see it.
Just announced on Monday that Terrace Hill wants to push ahead for additional income tax cuts.
Anyone else notice every time Reynolds gets called out, or gets pushback, on some legislation... she "announces" she wants more tax cuts.
What a leader!

Don't worry Hawki97, the small amount of taxes you pay aren't paying for much anyway.😎
You damn freeloading hippy socialist you. Get a job loser.
So how long is a reasonable time to expect to hear about all these "expansion announcements"?
2 years, 4 years, or the most likely NEVER?
And upgrades without expansion won't count.
This. Pine thinks this grift from the poor to well to do is funny.
I think your inability to understand this issue is funny. Well, sad, but also funny.
I can’t help you understand. This has been discussed over and over and either the problem isn’t sinking in, or you’re perfectly fine giving our tax dollars to people who don’t need it. If PRIVATE schools get to pick and choose, then our money shouldn’t go to them. It’s a grift, man.What's your point, that private schools should act as if they are public schools?

Here you go…you can’t stop. You have been proven wrong for months. You aren’t in education. The school you support is benefiting from public dollars. Yet they don’t have to follow the rules public schools have. Handouts to the well to do. You already lied in this thread. GTFO.
Here is a perfect example of you refusing to learn. Always blaming unions even though it’s been explained repeatedly Iowa’s union has ZERO power. Why do you choose ignorance?

All you do is repeat yourselves and cry about a law that has already been passed. Not much left to do but laugh at you.
And that was before the new law. Pretty good.
Far more diverse than most public schools across this state. And, those minority percentages will rise in coming years.
In 25 years here I have never seen a poster more wrong about a topic, gets proven wrong, yet comes back lying in every thread about it. Refuses to acknowledge facts…that were predicted ahead of time.
