An Answer to The Tuition Crisis
By R' Aaron Lang
The answer to the tuition crisis in not vouchers. The only reason why we have a right to nonpublic education is because of Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925). Otherwise everyone would be required to go to public school. Read my dogma at: Here
In 2011 I wrote a paper explaining how the district can pay for public school teachers in nonpublic schools without violating Lemon v. Kutzman (1971) by way of Option Two. The advantage of this plan was that it did not need state approval since it was already in the administrative code.
I now have a better plan. The state provided $400,000 for public school STEM teachers in nonpublic schools. Under current law, this violates the Lemon case if the teacher stands alone because the teacher cannot be monitored

Paone said he would decide within the next two weeks whether to grant Eisemann’s request.

If there was a loan outstanding, that undermines her credibility.’’(APP)
