Those opposed to vouchers believe they fall short of helping children receive an education and instead create more problems than solutions. One of those problems? Abuse of the system. That's exactly what an Arizona mother was accused of when authorities say she accepted nearly $30,000 in school vouchers after moving out of state without returning the funds.
A mom in Arizona is being forced to pay $28,433 after authorities say that she accepted money from Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program after she had already moved to Texas, according to local NBCStation 12NEWS.

What Are School Vouchers
These vouchers are typically funded by the same money that the family's home school district would usually use to pay for that child's education anyway, making it seem like a sound idea to supporters of the program.
However, the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) says voucher programs can harm public schools by diverting funds that would otherwise improve educational access. Not only that, EPI claims it can cause inequity, since some vouchers will undoubtedly go to children who have never been (and never planned to be) in public school, removing funding that would've otherwise helped improve the educational experience for students who remained in public school.
