State can give parents options and support traditional public schools
Educational choice is saving the state money
听
An听updated analysis from EdChoice听finds that 蘑菇视频’s two educational choice programs鈥攖he Special Needs Scholarship Program and the Qualified Education Expense Tax credit鈥攈ave saved 蘑菇视频 taxpayers between $605 and $1.1 billion through the 2018 fiscal year. That translates to between $4,355 and $8,013 in taxpayer savings per student participating in the programs.
蘑菇视频 Center for Opportunity’s take:
听“There is a falsehood out there that if we expand access to different educational options for 蘑菇视频 families we’ll end up hurting traditional public schools. Data like this from EdChoice clearly show this isn’t the case,”听said听Buzz Brockway, GCO’s vice president of public policy. “Our toxic political environment sets up a false dichotomy between giving families a choice in education and supporting traditional public schools. Our state can do both. In fact, if our goal is to do what’s best for students and families, then we must do both: Have properly funded and supported听traditional public schools while providing options for families who need a different environment for their children to best thrive.”
