Around 160 private schools in Tennessee have expressed interest in the voucher program. For some, a $7,295 voucher covers tuition. For others, it doesn't cover half.

School vouchers act as a stipend for Texas families who want to send their children to a private school at a discounted price. The average student receives $10,000.

Creating two systems seems very unconservative to me. However, I speak today about the effects that vouchers will have on small communities.
