Fully fund high quality education at every public school, allowing diversity in schools as well as students, and then fully fund transportation costs so that families can choose to attend any school in the district.

Support that with a cap in enrollment so that no school can be overwhelmed.

Public school students can transfer to another school in their district right now; districts limit how many inter- and intra-district transfers they will take because of costs.

Unless transportation is fully funded, choice in schools will not be equitable, since only those students whose parents can manage transportation themselves could go to a school not served by their neighborhood bus routes.

Why go the "voucher" route instead of fully funding all schools, and allowing all schools the same flexibility that we'd like to offer families?
