CheeseWhiz's act is a wee bit radical; to sate the moderate-libertarians here's a more 'reasonable' bill (the populists won't support a damn thing we produce anyway, save maybe gun laws
).

2. Any public school which the local municipal government does not convert into a charter school, a library, or a community center shall be put up for sale.
3. The budget for the regional Department of Education shall be divided as follows:
- 70% to the creation of the Midwestern Education Voucher Program;

4. The Midwestern Educatrion Voucher Program shall provide Midwestern children between the ages of 5 and 19 with variable vouchers and scholarships, based on both financial need and, on the secondary level, on academic ability.
