NEWS: Corbett's Voucher Proposal Roundup

From PoliticsPA:
Gov. Tom Corbett is in the process of completing his school voucher proposal that will be reviewed by the the House and Senate as early as next week.
It’s an interesting issue, namely because Republican support for the plan is unclear. It’s still a priority in the PA Senate, where most possible proposals have favorable odds of passing. In the House, however, a number of Republicans (particularly rural ones) aren’t too excited about it.
In Pennsylvania as in most states, school enrollment is based off of geographic location. If you live in area “X,” you will go to school “Y.” Voucher proponents argue that this produces a lack of quality in some state institutions, since they are guaranteed to receive enrollment.
The school voucher system is designed to award state or federal money to families with low incomes that have children in a lower quality institution, and allow those families to be able to send their children to a private institution of their choice.
