Register now for tomorrow’s @pfpsorg.bsky.social webinar on how SGOs have repeatedly lacked accountability + transparency, leading to waste, fraud, & abuse of public funds—and why a federal voucher scheme could repeat the same pattern.

Graphic of PFPS latest news story - The PFPS Interview: Former Idaho Supreme Court Justice Jim Jones and Luke Mayville from Reclaim Idaho on the Legal and Policy Fight Against Vouchers in that State, featuring panelist headshots and the PFPS website URL (www.pfps.org) Graphic of a quote from PFPS latest news story, "Ever since we became aware of the private school voucher issue, starting at least six or so years ago, it was very clear to us that vouchers are a direct threat to the integrity of public education, both because of the ways they undermine education itself and because they're re yet another drain on revenue." -Luke Mayville Graphic of a quote from PFPS latest news story, "The thrust of our case was that the constitutional framers had set up a public school system in a single article of our constitution, and that there was simply no authority under the constitution to set up a separate school system or to fund private, particularly religious, education." -Jim Jones Graphic saying, "Visit the PFPS Advocacy page to read the full interview," including the PFPS Advocacy page link: www.pfps.org/advocacy/
