Hvor kommer finansieringen til private skoler fra?
Private school
Privatskoler finansieres generelt gennem elevafgifter, fonde, stipendier/skolekuponer samt donationer og tilskud fra religiøse organisationer eller privatpersoner. Statslig finansiering af religiøse skoler er enten underlagt restriktioner eller muligvis forbudt i henhold til domstolenes fortolkning af etableringsbestemmelsen i det første tillæg eller de enkelte staters Blaine-tillægsbestemmelser. Ikke-religiøse privatskoler kunne teoretisk set uden problemer kvalificere sig til en sådan finansiering, idet de foretrækker fordelene ved uafhængig kontrol over deres elevoptagelse og kursusindhold frem for den offentlige finansiering, de kan få med charterstatus.
Private school
Funding for private schools is generally provided through student tuition, endowments, scholarship/school voucher funds, and donations and grants from religious organizations or private individuals. Government funding for religious schools is either subject to restrictions or possibly forbidden, according to the courts' interpretation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment or individual state Blaine Amendments. Non-religious private schools theoretically could qualify for such funding without hassle, preferring the advantages of independent control of their student admissions and course content instead of the public funding they could get with charter status.
