Politics: Voucher Success Story?

From the CQ Mid-Day Update:
The Lexington HERALD-LEADER reported that more than a dozen parents have removed their children from an alternative, private school located in a rural upstate county amid complaints about disciplinary tactics by one teacher. Claire McConnell, the daughter of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was accused of strapping one child into a chair with a leather belt, tying the hands of others and taping shut the mouths of some elementary school students. McConnell, who apologized for the incidents in a letter June 24, did not immediately return phone messages yesterday.

Here's the AP item on same. I wonder if the GOP voucher program would cover tuition at this school, including medical expenses from being strapped to one's chair?
