“In July the U.S. Congress debated the future of the DC Opportunity Scholarship program, the federal initiative helping 1,900 low-income students attend private schools in the nation’s capital. Despite efforts by opponents to cut the program’s funding, committees in the Senate and House of Representatives voted to appropriate money for the program for another year. On July 10 the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a District of Columbia budget that would continue funding for the program.” (10/08)
