Vouchers Part 2!

You may have a missed a small article in the Sun over the weekend about the Archdiocese closing two Catholic schools in the city. These two schools are closing because enrollment has dropped and now they are losing money. It is a shame that these two well run schools are closing because of under enrollment when we are city schools are over crowded and unmanageable due to the fiscal crisis. I am sure that there are many parents of our city school system who would love to have their children in a private catholic school, but just can not afford it. We are now faced with a chance to take bold steps towards giving parents a real choice in their children's education. I would urge our leaders to grant vouchers to those parents who want to attend these local catholic schools. This would be a win-win opportunity for our kids, parents, educators, and schools system. Let's take some bold leadership while we have a chance.
