Comply with federal antidiscrimination provisions.

Agree not to compel any opportunity scholarship student to profess a specific ideological belief, to pray, or to worship. The private school must adhere to the tenets of its published disciplinary procedures prior to the expulsion of an opportunity scholarship student.

I would have thought these 'intrusions' would prevent new religious private schools from opt-ing in to the voucher program. No?

Thank you for clarifying the relative costs of private vs voucher...surprising, but good news.

Here's the article mentioning the new private schools opening. And, BTW, these schools are opening as a result of a different voucher porgram -- one paid for by corporate tax credits, and not requiring the student to come from a failing school. The only requirement is the student's family be low income. This program has been popular with blacks, and I expect Gov. Bush will win a lot more black votes this Nov. than most predict:

Parents snap up school vouchers
[Jeb's 3rd voucher program results in new private schools]

Also, I will ping you all on a few of the very real success stories of public schools following Gov. Bush's educational reforms.
