Idaho Senators Should Protect School Choice in 'Big Beautiful Bill ...
- A provision within the Big Beautiful Bill currently under Senate review seeks to expand access to private school options across the country, potentially doubling the number of students who benefit from these programs.
- This legislation reflects widespread public backing for school choice across the political spectrum, with a majority of Americans and a significant portion of Democrats in support, and it continues efforts similar to those pursued over the last ten years.
- The legislation allocates $5 billion in tax incentives to support scholarships for households with incomes below three times their local median, allowing them to cover various educational costs such as tuition and tutoring.
- Erika Donalds called the act a "game-changer" and "historic step," while advocacy groups like the Orthodox Union launched campaigns urging Senate passage and doubling funding to support educational diversity.
- If enacted, the act could transform educational access across all states, offering families more choices and aiding communities, including Jewish families seeking inclusive, affordable schooling.
