Episode 65 - Examining NC’s Private School Voucher Program

Two new reports are out exploring our state’s Opportunity Scholarship or private school voucher program. One study looks at the academic achievement of students who left public schools to attend private schools using state-funded vouchers. The other examines the type of curriculum being used by the private voucher schools. We talk to the authors of both studies on this week’s show. Guests: • Dr. Trip Stallings, Director of Policy Research, Friday Institute, NC State University • Dr. Anna Egalite, Assistant Professor, College of Education, NC State University • Bonnie Bechard, Study Author, League of Women Voters of the Lower Cape Fear • Dr. Mary Kolek, Education Action Team Lead, League of Women Voters of North Carolina
