## Resource

State lawmakers are pouring $35.8 million back into public schools to counteract funding losses from a soaring private school voucher program—now serving over 106,000 students after jumping from 32,000. The money targets teacher literacy training, a new math curriculum, and bonuses for cafeteria and custodial staff. Critics say public schools should’ve kept the funds, and teacher protests demanded ending the voucher program. The state auditor is now reviewing the program’s finances, while lawmakers vow to reinvest any future savings into public education. The budget is poised to pass soon, aiming to stabilize public schools amid the voucher boom.
