SB 10 (PN 692) would create a new, duplicative private school voucher program via scholarships available to parents with children in grades 1-12 who reside within a low achieving school district.
The ACLU-PA opposes private school vouchers because they primarily fund religious education with public money, infringing on the religious freedom enshrined in our state constitution. To be sure, parents have a right to direct the religious education of their children and to send their children to religious schools. But they are not entitled to religious education provided at taxpayer expense.
