KSST Sent These Questions to District 12 BOE Candidates: Pam Little’s Responses
Here are the questions and responses given by candidate Pam Little. If proposed school vouchers legislation passes, how would it affect district 12?. A lot of how it would affect District 12 depends on the language in the bill. I support parents having the decision to choose their child’s education opportunities. Some superintendents indicated it might not have that much financial affect as the students receiving the funds are already in private schools. What I don’t want to see are “pop up” private schools in the rural areas that are not accredited just for the purpose of getting voucher monies.
