Alabama School Choice Advances
The Creating Hope and Opportunity for Our Students Education (CHOOSE) Act passed the Alabama House Ways and Means Education Committee and now moves to a full vote on the House Floor as early as next week.
The bill would create education savings accounts for every parent for use at private, public, or religious schools. You can read more about the legislation at Yellowhammer.

Arizona
ESAs are
Working
A new
report
in
Arizona
shows
education
savings
accounts
are
working
well in
the
state.
The
report
showcases
how
universal
ESAs
have
made
private
education
accessible
for
families
across
income
levels.
Contrary
to
concerns
raised
by ESA
opponents
over
"price
gouging,"
Arizona's
private
schools
have
maintained
tuition
well
below
public
school
per-pupil
costs,
with
ESAs
covering
nearly
the
entirety
of
tuition
for
most.

|
|
Moreover,
post-expansion
analysis
reveals
that
while
accusations
of
soaring
tuition
rates
have not
materialized,
it is
the
costs to
taxpayers
for
public
education
that
have
escalated.
The
typical
ESA
grant
significantly
mitigates
education
expenses
for
middle-class
and
lower-income
families,
allowing
over
$7,000
annually
to be
invested
in
private
schooling
options. Through
ESAs,
private
education
can be a
more
economical
choice
for
state
taxpayers,
while
broadening
the
horizons
for
students
by
introducing
new,
high-quality
educational
alternatives. Read
