PFPS Sets the Record Straight: Watch a Recording of our Latest Webinar for the Truth About the Federal Voucher Program

On June 4, Public Funds Public Schools hosted a crucial conversation to combat widespread misconceptions about the federal voucher program. During this one-hour Q&A session with PFPS Director Jessica Levin, an attorney with over a decade of experience in voucher law, and Staff Attorney Patrick Cremin, PFPS equipped advocates with the facts and arguments they need to set the record straight and support public education.

The webinar conversation covered topics including:

• Who will and will not benefit from the new federal voucher scheme;
• What forthcoming regulations implementing the voucher program might cover, including what regulations can and cannot do;
• The negative impact the federal voucher program will have on public schools;
• The myth that the federal voucher program is “free money” for states;
• What lessons from state-level voucher programs can tell us about what to expect from federal vouchers; and
• What public education supporters can do now, in both states where governors have signaled their intent to opt in and ones where they have not.
