Read previewThe prominence of school vouchers continues to surge across the country — but they might not benefit the families who need them the most.
Over the past few years, states like Ohio and Arkansas have expanded their school voucher programs to allow most or all parents to receive funding to send their kids to private schools.
The modern school voucher movement started to grow in the 1990s under the idea that the government would give parents a certain amount of money to put toward private school tuition.
A new report from the Brookings Institution delved further into the implications of Arizona's voucher program.
