This Reason.com writer has been doing yeoman's work tracking school funding reform legislation.
One would hope the serious fuckery of the past 11 months will result in positive changes. I'm not that hopeful. However public education and teachers unions are getting new scrutiny from new scrutinizers, and this is good.

Southeast D.C. resident Gary Jones is no fan of President Donald Trump. “I have major, major, major issues with this administration,” he says. But on one particular issue, Jones adds, “I think we can say they got it right.”
Thanks to a policy change made last month by Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, Jones’ youngest daughter Tiffany, will be eligible for a school voucher — federal funding to defray the cost of her education at St. Thomas More Catholic Academy, where she’s been a student for the last four years. Her father says he moved her out of the neighborhood public school only reluctantly. But he says the public school was having problems.
“I was like do we keep our child on this sinking ship or do we bite the bullet and put her in St Thomas More?” Jones says. His other daughter, Sabirah, was already at St. Thomas More on a voucher. Jones eventually paid out of pocket to send Tiffany even though he says the move represents a huge financial burden for his family. Jones says he’s tried for four years to get a voucher for Tiffany but because she already was enrolled at St. Thomas More, the Obama administration ruled her ineligible to receive one.
More Jim Crow racism from our resident liber hack. Keep the poor black children in sub standard schools so the white controlled teachers unions will continue with their campaign cash.
