Senate Gives D.C. School Choice Program Final Approval
At long last, educational freedom has come to the nation's capital.
More than a month after the measure passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate gave final approval to a plan which will provide $13 million annually for five years to fund private tuition scholarships for schoolchildren in Washington, D.C.
The passage marks the end of a nine-year ordeal in the attempt to bring more educational opportunities to D.C. families. "This is a truly historic development," said Children First America President John Kirtley. "What's most heartening about it is that it was primarily a locally driven measure, with the support of local leaders such as Mayor [Anthony] Williams, Councilman [Kevin] Chavous and School Board President [Peggy] Cooper-Cafritz, not to mention the legions of parents who demanded choices for their children's education. That, along with bipartisan support at the federal level, helped make this a reality."

For how your reps in DC voted: click here for House, I can't seem to find the Senate vote yet, would welcome a link. Doubtful my esteemed Senator Lieberman showed up, even though outside his 2000 VP candidacy he has been a proponent of vouchers.
Predictably Teddy Kennedy who is so concerned about education, with Rep. Norton weigh in as follows:
At an anti-voucher rally after the vote, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) said they would attempt to repeal the voucher program and send the money to public schools.
"Even after this vote, don't bank on vouchers coming to D.C.," Kennedy said.
While the mayor of DC and the school board Prez supported the measure.
