I know MNPS used to have a web page with all that qualifying info and how to run, but it's not there anymore.Kay Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073075957511329333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-1143820923746507342006-03-31T10:02:00.000-06:002006-03-31T10:02:00.000-06:00One of the reasons the private schools can do it f...One of the reasons the private schools can do it for so much less is that the school board's cost accounting makes Enron's look like a paragon of virtue by comparison. The cost per pupil is a meaningless average of "mainstreaming" costs, ESL, propagandistic "diversity" training, etc., and what the public views as reasonable costs for what should be taught in the public school systems. There is still one week left to file for the 4 open seats-2(South Davidson/Nolensville Rd.), 4(Hermitage/Old Hickory), 6(Antioch), and 8(Hillsboro),Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-1143819872859520282006-03-31T09:44:00.000-06:002006-03-31T09:44:00.000-06:00Great point!

If they can do it for so much less--something is really wrong.Kay Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073075957511329333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-1143819673872988392006-03-31T09:41:00.000-06:002006-03-31T09:41:00.000-06:00You will notice that Rev.

I think the reason Nashville is so afraid of vouchers is because Nashville's Spending Per Student is actually HIGHER than some private school's tuitions in Nashville. How could they keep the boat afloat if parents realized that they could send their children to a private school [with voucher] for no cost. They know what would happen if MNPS had to compete in that environment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
