Anyone else see the inconsistency?

If you mean can a teacher send their children to a private school using tax dollars. Yes I would think so they just need to meet the income requirement. Then be able to pay the difference between the tuition and voucher. But unsure if the teachers can transfer unless there is an opening.

But my local public school was inundated with ex-private school students wanting to get in because of the increase in tuition since the voucher program now allows for going to any school. No longer does one have to go to the closest school to you. Just need to apply and if the principle accept you then your in.

Are you saying that the private schools have raised their tuition rates because of the vouchers?

Yes, I can.

Are these mostly parochial schools or schools with religious affiliations or are the big buck prep schools doing it too?

We have a fair amount of both, but the Catholic schools are the ones loosing more students to public do to the pricing, The Christian and Military inspired schools are holding steady I have heard from the teachers at my local school.

But next year there will be no limit to the number of students who can transfer schools. Up to now the state had a limit on transfers.
