Educational Choice in 2016
Two new school choice programs were passed during the 2016 state legislative sessions: a voucher program in Maryland and a tax credit scholarship in South Dakota. Neither state had any private school choice programs on the books prior to passing them this year, so education reformers have a new number to tout: 25 states and the District of Columbia have empowered parents through 50 private school choice programs that allow them to select the best educational experience for their children!
