WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following is a statement by Joan Schmidt, president of the National School Boards Association, on the Senate's passage of a private school voucher amendment as part of the budget reconciliation bill:
School board members are disappointed and angered by the United States Senate's vote to create what amounts to a national private school voucher program under the guise of emergency hurricane relief for schools. The amendment was added to the Senate's budget reconciliation bill that they continue to debate today. The vote came just days after the Senate approved an education appropriations bill that included barely noticeable increases for critical public school programs such as Title I and IDEA that help millions of children nationwide.
