School vouchers are the program that the Republicans have been pushing for years, and very well may pass. It gives you the option of pulling your kid from public schooling, and the state will give a portion of the money that would have been used to pay for her public schooling to you so you can use it for private school tuition. It is a crock in some ways that the $5-10K per student translates into $3-6K in vouchers, but it goes a long way toward covering private school tuition.
Democrats don't like it because they think it will cause segregation and would harm the public schools due to lower funding. I think that it is good: the public schools don't deserve to waste any more tax dollars ... especially for students that aren't attending class there. Further, I haven't encountered any more segregation in private schools than public. I think they are afraid that if the program was effective, it would show how pathetic their education policies really are. You can't just throw money into a fire and expect students to do better.
