Fayette, Fulton,and Gwinnett county schools are subject to feel the burden of the new school voucher purposal. In this article Sen. Eric Johnson wants to enforce a school voucher on all the citizens in Georgia. This voucher would help Georgia’s public school system receive help for children with behavior or learning disabilities. Enforcing this voucher means that the counties such as Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett counties will increase the number of students in their district. Although these counties are experiencing a lack of resources with the increased number of students they already have. Most of the parents in the area are skeptical of the change because the school has overall been a help in their communities and they do not want to see the change. This change however will also benefit the students within the districts.

In this article Sen. Johnson is striving to help students with learning disabilities. I agree with his efforts to help other students who may not be able to receive a better education due to circumstances. The voucher would only assist them with the cost of getting into public or private schools. From my understanding public school are free, but in order to enroll in a school in a district you must live in that district. The funds that will be provided will cover that cost. I think that this plan/program will help every student excel in school every where.
