Talk:D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program

Addition to Funding Status
Hi, in light of this week's news that the program has not been included in the 2013 federal budget, I would like to suggest an addition to "Funding Status". I've included a mention of The Heritage Foundation, where I work, and one of the sources I have cited here is written by a colleague, so I'd like another editor to take a look at the addition. If you think the wording I've prepared is suitable, please can you add it to the section. Thanks, Kalkaska sand (talk) 17:15, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * In February 2012, President Barack Obama announced his budget proposal for 2013, which did not include new funding for the program. According to ABC News, the budget stated that the program's budget for 2012 had enough money to also cover students' vouchers in 2013, but did not mention future years. The lack of funding was criticized by conservatives, including The Heritage Foundation and Wall Street Journal columnist Jason L. Riley, who argued that the program costs less per child and has a higher graduation rate than public school education in Washington D.C.


 * As there has been no response here, I have gone ahead and added this material. Although I had originally stated that it should be added to "Funding Status", on further reflection I think it is more appropriate in "Background". If you have any questions about the addition, I would be happy to discuss here. Thanks, Kalkaska sand (talk) 16:39, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
