Opting into the federal program (the state’s choice) , even to use voucher money for public education students, broadly endangers public education and opens the door to further voucher expansion, whether vouchers are already available in a given state or not.  \nUntil federal regulations for this voucher scheme are released by the U.S. Treasury Department, there’s no telling how restrictive and anti-public education it will turn out to be. Pro-voucher advocates have stated that their ultimate goals are to expand the federal voucher program anywhere and everywhere and to strangle public education. It’s up to all of us to make sure that doesn’t happen.  \nThe information below is meant to answer frequently asked questions and combat the spread of misinformation about the federal voucher program.  \n1) What is the federal voucher program?  \n• The federal voucher program creates a one-to-one individual tax credit, up to $1,700, for cash contributions to scholarship granting organizations (SGOs) that pass out school vouchers.  \n• This means, if an individual contributes $1,700 to an SGO, the federal government will credit that individual the full amount of $1,700 when they file their federal taxes.  \n2) Do states receive “free money” under this program?  \n• NO. This voucher scheme is anything but “free money” for states. It takes away federal tax dollars that should be used for public education or other much needed public services.  \n• Instead, this public money will be used to reimburse individual contributions to voucher granting organizations that support private and religious schools.  \n3) Are these actually federal vouchers?  \n• YES. This is a federal voucher program. Vouchers pay for a student’s private school tuition and other private education expenses using public funds, and this program is no different.  \n• Voucher schemes have many different names, such as “tax credits” and“scholarships,” and different mechanisms for diverting funds to private schools. The shapeshifting and renaming of voucher programs are arguably deliberate strategies  \nby their promoters to obscure their true nature and to try to avoid legal challenges, negative policy connotations, and community opposition.  \n• These federal vouchers divert public funds to private education uses, with all the attendant harms, and they must be recognized as such, even if it may be possible to use the voucher money for public school students.  \n4) Who can receive federal vouchers?  \n• Students are eligible for federal vouchers if: 1) they reside in a state that opts in; 2) their family income is not greater than 300% of the area median gross income; and 3) they are eligible to enroll in a public elementary or secondary school.  \n• Ninety percent of families, including those with incomes over $500,000 in some counties, are eligible for their children to receive federal vouchers.  \n• The federal voucher program does not require that students have ever attended public school. In fact, the program prioritizes students who already received these vouchers in the previous school year and their siblings. Most of these students have never set foot in a public school.  \n5) What can federal vouchers pay for?  \n• Federal vouchers can pay for tuition, fees, tutoring, special needs services, books, supplies, room and board, uniforms, transportation, and computer technology or equipment, among other expenses, for students enrolled at a private, religious or public school.  \n• Although the federal voucher scheme includes vouchers for public school students, until the Trump administration releases regulations to flesh out this law, it’s impossible to know what constraints will b","cbCairk6CspKsdey","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairk6CspKsdey","pdf",170284,"English","# Federal Voucher Program - FAQs\n## What is the federal voucher program?\n## Do states receive “free money” under this program?\n## Are these actually federal vouchers?\n## Who can receive federal vouchers?\n## What can federal vouchers pay for?\n## What are the requirements for an SGO?\n## Who decides whether to opt in?\n## Outstanding questions about the program","[{\"question\":\"What is the federal voucher program and how does it work?\",\"answer\":\"The program provides a one-to-one individual tax credit, up to $1,700, for cash contributions to scholarship granting organizations (SGOs) that distribute school vouchers.
