New Case Study of Illinois School Districts Shows Public Schools Stand to Lose Funds Under Federal Voucher Program: Report Recommends Illinois Opt Out

A new study by Institute for the Public Good and Illinois Families for Public Schools examines what is likely to happen in Illinois if the new federal voucher program were to be implemented here. The study shows that public schools are more likely to be losers than winners financially and that, when funding does flow to public schools students, it is likely to go to schools with higher-income families, increasing already existing inequities across school districts.
