Lax oversight
The Palm Beach Post continues its outstanding work covering Jeb Bush's and the Dept. of Education's refusal to enforce minimal standards for receiving state school voucher money. A draft proposal calls for voluntary rules and if you don't comply, no biggie, you still get state money.
Senate Pres. Jim King was right: The voucher program is a "disaster waiting to happen" because of lack of state oversight.
"This is all voluntary, and we know how voluntary many of the schools have been in the past to clean up and that's not very much," said Rep. Susan Bucher, D-Royal Palm Beach.
