Abstract: The Senate’s budget proposal makes changes to the Opportunity Scholarship voucher program which are expected to cost North Carolina citizens over $170 million over the next fi ve fi scal years. Annual costs will continue to climb in subsequent years. The Opportunity Scholarship Program contains no meaningful accountability measures, so it is unclear what benefi t North Carolina’s citizens are receiving in exchange for these increased costs. Policymakers have no way to determine whether the changes proposed under Section 11A.3 of the proposal will hurt or harm educational delivery for North Carolina’s students.
