A radical way to lower the student to faculty ratio

Hundreds of Students Kicked Out of School:
"The school district is enforcing a policy that limits enrollment to only those students who can prove that they live in the district."

The Freemont Union High School District, even after exempting seniors, found 300 high schoolers who could not prove they actually lived in that district. I looked up the school district's website and found they have a total enrollment of over 9,000 in grades 9-12. Including seniors not expelled, this works out to about 4.22% of the district's enrollment having been attending illegally.

I wonder if the parents who went to the trouble and expense of coming up with false residence claims in the Fremont district wouldn't appreciate a voucher program that gave them a legal and affordable means of finding a better education for their children.
