This article in today's NY Times discusses what can happen legally when
students are moved to private schools. It focuses on students with
emotional difficulties; no mention of students with blindness or visual
impairment, but the information is cautionary. Hope the link will open for
you. The title of the article is:

Thanks, Tony! This is an important issue, one that we can expect to hear a lot about at the federal level in the coming months.

For those interested in this topic, here are a few additional voucher-related resources:

    link to resources from the National Coalition for Public Education (full disclosure: NCPE is openly opposed to vouchers and so their resources are a mix of evidence as well as suggested messaging in opposition to voucher programs): https://www.ncpecoalition.org/facts ;

    link to NCPE's document "Vouchers Do Not Serve Students with Disabilities": https://static1.squarespace.com/static/582f7c15f7e0ab3a3c7fb141/t/5873999bb3db2b5222575353/1483970971486/NCPE_TP_Students-with-Disabilities.pdf

    link to a report from the Council of Parent Advocate and Attorneys (COPAA), titled "School Vouchers and Students with Disabilities: Examining Impact in the Name of Choice": https://c.ymcdn.com/sites/copaa.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/2016_Conference/COPAA_Voucher_paper_final_R6.pdf

    link to a report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), titled "School Choice: Private School Choice Programs Are Growing and Can Complicate Providing Certain Federally Funded Services to Eligible Students": http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-16-712

These documents were prepared by organizations outside of AFB; apologies in advance for any accessibility difficulties.

If you or someone you know has a first-person account of an experience with voucher programs which would be insightful to Congress if they hold hearings on this topic, I can put you in touch with people who may be organizing opportunities to educate legislators.

Thanks!

Rebecca

This is an excellent article! The implications for the students we serve are disheartening! I hope parents become more knowledgeable before they enroll their children in a voucher program.
