This is why we included a new school choice tax credit in the Working Families Tax Cuts – students and their families should be able to choose the schools and programs that work best for them.
School Choice Week is an opportunity to celebrate the freedom for parents to choose the best educational environments for their children. I’m a champion for school choice because school choice champions families.
