💨 Abstract

state lawmakers are pushing for increased taxpayer funding of private school tuition and homeschooling expenses, despite economic uncertainty. A $1 billion voucher program in Texas and national expansion efforts are driving debate. In states with existing programs, costs have rapidly increased budgets. Voucher opponents fear these programs will come at the expense of public schools. Republican-controlled states have been the main adopters of these costly school choice programs.
