Vouchers Don’t Guarantee Disability Access

State voucher programs can move public education dollars into private hands without the legal or operational requirements that compel public schools to serve students with disabilities. As a result, families awarded disability vouchers often cannot find private schools able or willing to meet medically complex or special‑education needs, turning 'choice' into a hollow benefit for the most vulnerable students. — Public funds that substitute for public obligations create accountability gaps and equity losses, demanding policy fixes (eligibility, provider requirements, oversight) rather than mere expansion of voucher programs.
