Among the problems the study identified: it failed to give prospective families enough information to make informed decisions, it did not provide effective oversight to voucher schools, its database was outdated and
full of inaccuracies, it lacked
financial accountability, and it failed to ensure voucher schools complied with accreditation standards.
Despite all the rhetoric about «increased
accountability,» when it comes to issues like
full financial transparency, compliance with state laws on contracting, or even background checks on employees, lack of adequate oversight creates the inevitability of poor quality, non-compliance with laws governing the schools and outright fraud.
