The Georgia PTA needs your help!
HB 301 (Cantrell) - Education Savings Accounts would create a new private school voucher with a potential annual cost of over $20 million.
Our friends at the Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) have done the calculations and found that per voucher student, systems will lose almost double the amount of funding received for a similar public school student. This is because the bill awards the district's average per pupil state allotment to the voucher student, not the actual funds earned.
This average includes funds from all programs (special education, English Language Learners, gifted, etc), regardless if the voucher student would otherwise qualify. Please read PAGE's alertfor more information.
It takes under 5 minutes to call and/or email your legislators and tell them to protect public school funding by voting "NO" on HB 301.
You can look up your legislators at the Georgia PTA Action Center.
