Questions about the GOP/LePage school voucher proposal
Will any of them, their families or friends profit in any way from the voucher program?

Will voucher school teachers be accountable to certification & performance standards - like public school teachers?

Will voucher schools admit any student who wants in - or will they be allowed to cherry pick the best students and exclude the "bad" ones.

Will tax dollars be used to fund religious schools?

If so, will Lewiston Somalis be able to used vouchers for Islamic schools - or will they be excluded from the voucher scam?

How would the state monitor vouchers for home schooling?

LePage better have some good answers!!!

1. If he pushes this, it will cut his electoral honeymoon very short.
