And blowing up their state budget.Arizona passed a voucher system, The people using it most already send tbeir kids to private schools.
School Vouchers Were Supposed to Save Taxpayer Money. Instead They Blew a Massive Hole in Arizona’s Budget.

You have some schools that are quite small and should be allowed to play under that 6a level. I do agree though majority should be at least 5a and up.A separate private playoff would be awful. I believe that every CCL/ESCC team should have to play 6A and up. They have the resources and talent rich areas. I think that is more than reasonable. I can see an argument for Marmion, DLS, Leo to be lower.
Guys, don’t shot the messenger, it’s all outcomes based. Honestly if my students are being enriched I could care less if the teacher is a card carrying union member or not. As for transparency, yes it is done and needs to continue to be done. Regarding special needs, I have mixed emotions about mainstreaming students, then again I think there should be several different tracks for kids based on ability rather than teaching to a minimum competency. I am also a strong supporter of the trades and the need for vocational training, noting that it should not be seen as a lesser role in society to be a tradesman in this country. Anyway now I’m just blathering.So if private schools get public funding, they should be required to report the same information as public schools and are also held accountable to the same standards as public schools? Also, do their teachers need to be certified like public school teachers?
Arguments exist on both sides but this one is backed by accounting numbers see below.And blowing up their state budget.

Which ones?You have some schools that are quite small and should be allowed to play under that 6a level. I do agree though majority should be at least 5a and up.
Well, the only one left is SHG in 3A because of the waiver rule. Wonder if they’ll petition up to 4A?Which ones?
I can see you're cherry-picking information. Before I start I do realize teaching is not an easy job and education does start at home. I get all of that. But, parents also have the right to know that when they drop their kid off at school or when the bus picks them up that school will be a learning experience and garbage won't be taught.I'm sure you can pick almost any of the large major city school districts and see low results. Why is that? Becasue they don't get to choose who enrolls in their school. They have to educate EVERYBODY. Even if that person and/or their family does not care about education. And how many of these students would a private school let in? Most states that have vouchers have seen 80%+ of recipients that were already enrolled in a private school. It does not open opportunities for all students. It allows for segregation and the destruction of our public school system.
People think that school choice is the choice of the parent or student, but, it is more the choice of the schools to pick which students they want to have enrolled. You have to APPLY for enrollment. You have to be CHOSEN for enrollment. You have to PAY THE DEPOSIT to hold your spot.
Special education needs = No thanks.
Low Income = No thanks.
Questions:
Why do the private schools not release test scores or other academic data?
Why do they not publish their school discipline?
Why do they not publish background information on their teachers?
Why do they not publish their financials?
Why wouldn't the private schools raise their tuition if everyone coming in has an extra $7500?
I will never trust organizations that want to hide everything they do with the money they get. Especially if the money is public tax money. Be transparent and accountable or STFU about vouchers.
