HARRISBURG PA – Attempting to allay concerns of teachers’ unions and other groups opposed to school voucher legislation, state Sen. Andrew Dinniman, a Democrat from Chester County, is preparing a pair of amendments to address the cost and accountability of vouchers, according to The Pennsylvania Independent online news service.
Under one amendment, the third year of the voucher program – when “opportunity scholarships” would be extended to all students in the state regardless of income levels or the performance of their public schools – would be eliminated.
