School choice winning but teachers union empire striking back
Fox News
The school choice movement is making gains but efforts in Arizona and West Virginia show that opponents haven't given up defending their education monopoly.
Jason Bedrick is a research fellow in the Center for Education Policy at The Heritage Foundation.
The broadest new school choice policy enacted in 2021 was West Virginia’s Hope Scholarship, a K-12 education savings account (ESA) that empowers nearly all families, regardless of income, to take their children's state-funded education dollars to the education providers of their choosing, whether it be a public, charter, private or home school.
All West Virginia students who are switching out of a public school or entering kindergarten are eligible to receive an ESA starting this fall.
