Vouchers is what you are referring to, and that going to be a huge issue for Pendleton at Notre Dame (if he is the guy). Not sure what high schools the vouchers apply to currently, but basically if your high school is in academic distress and you live in that district, your kid can go to Notre Dame for free. Those school districts will be the recruiting grounds for ND's next coach. Tuition at ND going to be a nonstarter for most kids in this area, so unless the kid qualifies for a voucher, it going to be a lot harder to get kids into ND than it was at Ironton.formerfcfan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 10:24 am [quote=art_vandelay post_id=2053258 time=<a href="tel:1675178002">1675178002</a> user_id=380]

For those who know Pendleton know that his family has money and he is also a business owner, So money won’t be the issue, The only money issue I see would be for his assistant coaches and the type of players he would want to get in there. I know there are certain types of “scholarships” for kids who are interested in ND, Just don’t know how many?
If he is interested and ND has a “whatever you need to succeed” approach, Then it very well could happen. If it were to happen I think it’s bad for area schools as you would assume the talent would be plucked. It will be interesting to see what happens. If they don’t get him I think it will be someone in house already.
Anybody from ND know what local school districts still qualify for the ND voucher program?*

The only HS that falls into the program currently is Portsmouth. Clay’s middle school is also on the list.
It’s the EdChoice Expansion, where income is a qualifier, that has kept ND’s numbers afloat.

formerfcfan: thanks for the input on the subject. So does EdChoice Expansion apply to any lower-income student from any school district? Or still just for the school districts in academic distress?*
