Political fights and court battles are brewing around the country over using public dollars to make it easier for parents to afford private schools for their kids.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal recently won passage of legislation that expands a voucher program as part of widespread changes to the state's education system.
Lawmakers in Virginia and Florida have passed legislation creating or expanding programs that give tax credits for contributions to private school scholarship funds.
The issue has also been debated in recent months in other states, including New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Ohio and New Jersey.
Opponents say the programs erode public schools. Supporters say they give opportunities to students who are in bad schools and provide parents with more choices.
