Charter schools controversy will only grow under Trump

(CNN)- President-elect Donald Trump hasn't been coy about his vision for public schools: He wants them to become more like their private counterparts.

Trump proposes spending $20 billion to allow for "school choice" -- the ability for families to use federal dollars in the form of vouchers on their school of choice, be it a charter, a magnet, private or a traditional public school.

Trump has not laid out a detailed plan, nor has he specified where the money will come from. He proposes "reprioritizing" existing federal money, a gambit experts say is sure to face bipartisan opposition from lawmakers who don't want to lose existing funds for their district.
