Instituted school voucher plan

In his first 100 days, Bush’s legislative agenda met with stunning success. He passed a school voucher plan, got longer prison terms for gun-toting criminals, and instituted a $1 billion tax break.

Supports charter schools & vouchers

Supports the following principles concerning school choice:
• Provide parents with state-funded vouchers to send their children to any participating school (public, private, religious).
• Favor charter schools where independent groups receive state authorization and funding to establish new schools.
• Bush says, “Our education proposal would allow vouchers for children in chronically failing schools so that they could attend another public or private school.”
