One Voice for Public Policy: State Level Parental Choice in Education

Almost needless to say, big and exciting things have and continue to happen in the realm of parental empowerment through school choice. On the state level, the latest development occurred last week in the State of Texas as a long anticipated $1 billion education savings account program was signed into law. It has the potential to give the parents of up to 100,000 children the ability to send their child to the school of their choosing. Its passage brings the number of states on track to offer universal school choice to their residents to 15, in addition to 6 other states offering other forms of choice.
