The potential could play a role in the ongoing debate over whether to let families use taxpayer money to pay for private education. Some rural House Republicans remain skeptical of vouchers, saying they would hurt public schools in areas that are little served by private education. Some opponents also see expanding private schools as a threat, siphoning money and students away from public schools that form the backbone of rural communities.
Even with the promise of more accessibility, some rural leaders say private schools aren’t needed in their communities. Those against vouchers believe that private schools will rapidly expand and will lead to an exodus of public school kids to private schools.
