More States Embrace School Choice

Tuesday, March 1, 2011

School Choice (NAPSA)—More states have expanded or created new school choice programsthis year than ever before. This has led many to dub 2011 as “the year of school choice.” That’s the word from a leading organization that promotes school choice, with a specific focus on advocating for school vouchers and scholarship tax credit programs. Vouchers and scholarship tax credits are intended to allow lowand middle-income families to send their children to the schools that best suit them. According to the American Fed- eration for Children (AFC), in just the first half of the year alone, legislation to expand or create new school voucheror scholarship tax credit programs was passed in 11 states and Washington, D.C. Vouchers and scholarship tax credits are intended to allow lowand middle-income families to send their children to the schools that best suit them, whether those schools are private, traditional public or public charter schools. “This has been a significant year for educational freedom nationwide,” said Betsy DeVos, the chairman of the AFC.
