This year has seen an explosion of new, big, school choice initiatives. Most important have been education savings account (ESA) programs, which offer the most freedom of any school choice vehicle by allowing parents to apply funds to everything from tutoring, to science equipment, to private school tuition. But with this comes many challenges, and the sudden takeoff of ESAs might leave people who are tasked with implementing them scrambling.
In this forum, we will tackle the challenges of implementing ESAs with people who have thought hard about it, who have done it, and who are doing it now. Among the difficulties we’ll tackle are spreading the word about ESAs; helping families unaccustomed to school choice navigate a new way of obtaining education; ensuring funds are used for legitimate educational purposes (including defining what constitutes “legitimate”); and dealing with possible misrepresentations of ESA uses and outcomes by choice opponents.
We hope you’ll join us as we discuss implementing the school choice revolution.
