School Voucher Program Fails Accountability Test


A voucher program designed to send low-income children in the District to better-performing private schools has allowed some students to take classes in unsuitable learning environments and from teachers without bachelor's degrees, according to a government report.

The shortcomings are detailed in a draft prepared by the Government Accountability Office about the $12.9 million D.C. Opportunity Scholarship program. The GAO said the program lacks financial controls and has failed to check whether the participating schools were accredited.
This is the latest failure in an endless list of failures of programs that Bush has pushed since the Supreme Court first let him live in the White House - just like everything else that has touched Bush's hands since his dad bought him his MBA.

Wake up, sheeple.
