Thank you for your service and leadership representing the students and families of the state of Indiana. As leaders of Montgomery County Schools, we are appreciative of your time and consideration regarding the drafting and development of sound, responsible legislation.
On behalf of the students, faculties, staff and families of our three districts, we would like to share three specific concerns we have as it related to HB 1005.
1. As written, HB 1005 fails to mandate the same auditing requirements for private schools that participate in the voucher program.
2. As written, HB 1005 creates state-funded Education Savings Accounts (ESA) that certain K-12 students could use for various educational services, including private school tuition, without fiscal accountability built into the system.
