This discussion quickly went down the political road.
The reason the voucher plan has been halted for now is because there are no more failing schools in Florida. Under the voucher plan, many of the students zoned for schools that had failed the FCAT were given vouchers allowing them to attend nearby private schools, expenses paid. Now that there are no such schools, there will be no such vouchers.
Well, actually, some kids will still receive vouchers: about 50 kids in Pensacola and a limited number of disabled children whose public schools do not meet their needs.
