On the proponent side of the Utah voucher system, a minority group argues against the stance of the NAACP Salt Lake City branch. The NAACP is saying that the average per year tuition for a private school in Utah is $8000. The Minorities for Vouchers group suggests that this average has been unjustly inflated by expensive school outliers on the graph. The Minorities for Vouchers group suggests that, when you take away these outliers, the average for private schools come to $4,500.

Coming from another angle of this argument, not many private schools would even be available in a voucher system. Many private schools have decided not to accept vouchers, and others that might be affordable would not have the space in their schools to accept many more students. If space is limited in the private school setting, than why include private schools in the open educational market? The reason people want to include private schools in the school options rests on the notion that private schools are actually higher quality education. The question is, is this actually true? Private schools do not have to have certified teachers while public schools do. Private school teachers do not even have to have a bachelor's degree. But, if the perception is that private schools are better, then children will want to move over to private schools if they have the option too. With that type of demand on the private schools, they will draw better teachers to the private sectors as well, leaving the public school system depleted of quality education, and the students that do not have the money to go to the private schools will not have the option for higher education.
