   To be clear, I posted this so other friends and folks in other US states are aware just how out-of-control the Arizona school vouchers have endangered the public schools. This Roosevelt school district is about 5 square miles. That quote is from the school board president. 29 CHARTER SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS in this school district. Because the GOP here wants to destroy public schools. Every voucher used immediately takes that amount per student OUT of the public school funding.

     "Roosevelt School District is a microcosm of what’s happening in the state and in the country. We have a declining birth rate in our state,

     about 29 charter and private schools over saturating our district,

     and so what’s happening is we’ve had declining enrollment since 2007," she said.

     @cobalt I hope people figure out that school vouchers are a right wing project to destroy public schools because public schools are integrated and don't indoctrinate children into christianity. I don't want my taxes used for some wing nut's private school!
