More than 2500 in Ohio Apply for Vouchers

More than 2500 Ohio students applied for vouchers to attend private schools.

Angela Townsend, a reporter at The Plain Dealer writes,

The state legislature last year expanded vouchers far beyond Cleveland by allocating money for 14,000 renewable scholarships. Children who attend low-performing public schools will get up to $4,250 a year for elementary school
tuition and $5,000 for high school tuition at participating private schools.

It'll be interesting to see how many students apply before the beginning of the next school year.

What interests me is how many private schools will accept the vouchers? and....how many new private schools will suddenly materialize on the scene to take advantage?
