Give yourself extra time if you are trying to go to the south enrollmen center at 3100 s alaska street. Construction in the area has made it pretty tough to get to. It is the cream colored building on the northeast corner of s alaska and MLK way.

Education News Roundup

From the ever-amusing Washington Policy Center : Vouchers are Pell Grants for students under 18.  Vouchers are no different than Pell Grants or GI benefits, except the money goes to the families of students younger than age 18.  Except they are.
