Action Alert: Ask Your Legislator to Support the Student Freedom Account Act
The latest school choice bill is the Student Freedom Account Act, House Bill 1904, which would create a program where a portion of education funding is spent more efficiently and directly help families. This new program would create accounts that parents can use to help cover their child’s education expenses, in both public and private school settings. These expenses may include curriculum, methods and other resources. The Department of Treasury would administer and manage oversight of these accounts.
Education is not one size fits all. We will not fix widespread education issues until we improve our current system. Right now, the majority of Pennsylvania fourth graders are not proficient in reading. Something needs to change.
