A new Indiana law has brought to life long-time fears of public school advocates. Since the law was signed in May, more than 3,200 students in the Hoosier state are receiving vouchers to attend private schools according to an Associated Press article. This means a loss of money for the public schools where the students would have been attending.
On the other hand, some Catholic schools are able to remain open with the influx of students. The AP says that more than 70% of the vouchers are being used at private schools and most of those are in urban areas such as Indianapolis and Gary where the public schools have reputations for struggling.
