Welcome to Republicans Opposing Voucher Efforts (ROVE)

As Republicans, we are proud of our Party's history in championing free public education for all of our nation's children. We know the importance of a quality public education system to America's security and to our ability to compete in the global market of the 21st Century. As taxpayers, we want our money to be well-spent—with dollars targeted for education going toward creating a world class public education system. We oppose voucher programs that divert public funds to private schools. Join us as we voice our opposition to pro-voucher statements in the Party Platform and lend our support for public schools.

Heard by the Watering Hole: Voucher Facts
  • Vouchers force taxpayers to pay for two school systems—one public, one private.
  • Voucher schools may not require teachers to be certified or qualified for the areas they teach.
  • Voucher schools can discriminate based on religion, gender, English proficiency and special needs.
  • Voucher schools have no accountability for the use of taxpayer funds.
  • Scientific research has indicated no differences in the academic achievement of voucher students compared to public school students—despite the fact that private schools can choose which students can attend.
  • School vouchers are any taxpayer funds used to pay those parents who prefer to send their children to private schools—including religious schools—over public schools.
