The undersigned members of the National Coalition for Public Education (NCPE) write to voice opposition to the funding of the District of Columbia private school voucher program, and strongly urge you to reject any efforts, including possible amendments filed, to fund or increase appropriations for this program during full committee markup of the FY2013 Financial Services Appropriations bill. The program has not been found to be effective in improving educational outcomes for participating students. At a time when Congress is considering cutting trillions of dollars from the federal budget, it should not be spending millions of taxpayer dollars for a small number of students to attend private schools.
