Students Use Vouchers to *FLEE*  DC  Schools -- September 1, 2004

WASHINGTON -- As the school year begins, more than 1,000 students are
using a new voucher program to escape troubled public schools in the 
nation's capital. Officials running the nation's first federally funded
voucher program said Wednesday the response was overwhelming. 
Seventy-four percent of students who applied for vouchers and were 
determined to be eligible are enrolled in participating private and 
parochial schools, and more applications are under review. 

"We have 1,011 students that have been placed in 53 schools," said 
Sally Sachar, president of the Washington Scholarship Fund, the
nonprofit group administering the program for the District of 
Columbia and the U.S. Department of Education....

Numerous problems in the D.C. Public Schools have fueled interest 
in the program. The system has its fifth permanent superintendent 
in nine years. In February, a student was shot dead inside a high 
school, allegedly by another student. Enrollment is down, including 
more than 10,000 students who departed for publicly funded charter 
schools.

The common denominator (what is being fled from) is *DAFNz*.

Or is it that SAFNz are preferable to DAFNz?
