The children of the non-wealthy in this state deserve a choice. I sacrificed for years and paid for all my kids to go to private schools. It’s made an enormous difference in their lives. I want other non-wealthy parents to have the same opportunity. This program isn’t perfect but it sure beats telling poor people that JCPS is their only path in this community. If you care more about the kids than the teachers and unions you will vote YES on this amendment.
