Governor Kay Ivey signed the CHOOSE Act at an event at the State Capitol, becoming the latest state to pass universal school choice legislation. Alabama joins a wave of red states.
The education savings account is a school choice model that enables parents to use public funds to cover a variety of education expenses, including private school tuition, instructional materials, and homeschooling costs. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
School choice, or providing all families with alternatives to the public schools they’re zoned for, can be expanded through multiple avenues at the state level, including school voucher programs, tax-credit scholarship programs, individual tuition tax credit programs and deductions, and education savings accounts (ESAs). Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
