US Moves Closer to Offering National Private School Choice
- On June 26, 2025, new instructions were released to assist states in utilizing federal funds more effectively to broaden school choice options and enhance the performance of struggling schools.
- This guidance builds on increasing state efforts, including 624 school choice proposals introduced in 2025, and initiatives like Louisiana's voucher program led by Gov. Jeff Landry.
- Indiana's Choice Scholarship program grew by 8% from 2023-24 to 2024-25, serving about 76,000 voucher students, many never enrolled in public schools, while critics note the program now aids some wealthier families.
- The Senate proposed $4 billion yearly in tax credits and the House approved $5 billion for a national school choice program, aiming to become the first federally sponsored voucher initiative nationwide.
- These developments imply a continued push for parental choice in education, with concerns over program cost, equity, and a cautious legislative approach to expanding eligibility.
