paid for by taxpayers.

We also have the McKay vouchers for those with disabilities. They get their vouchers from corporations who in turn get huge tax breaks. Hundreds of millions less last I saw going to public schools because corporations pay less taxes if they give vouchers.

BTW in FL private schools are not regulated at all. They do not even have to hire certified teachers.
