West Virginia Treasurer defends Hope Scholarship amid enrollment decline
Original: Citing demographic changes, WV Treasurer Pack defends Hope Scholarship in enrollment drop
West Virginia Treasurer Larry Pack is defending the Hope Scholarship, the state's school choice program, attributing falling public school enrollment to demographic changes rather than the scholarship itself. His remarks push back against criticism that the voucher-style program is draining students and funding from public schools, a debate likely to continue as the program expands across the state.
Why now: Debates over school choice and its impact on public school enrollment are active in West Virginia.
