Last week, the North Carolina bill passed a bill that would expand private school vouchers by $400 million, according to WRAL News.
As explained by bill sponsor Representative Tricia Cotham (R-Mecklenberg), all this bill would do is allow parents to send a child to the school that best fits their needs.
“Maybe a kid says they hate school,” Cotham told WRAL. “It’s just not the place, maybe the school is too large, maybe it’s the type of curriculum, maybe they have dyslexia and need another location for them. So, this would give families, parents, the opportunity because they know their child the best to say where their child should go to school.”
