Idaho Education News highlighted the Center’s recent report on SB 1038, a school voucher bill that the Center estimated would balloon in cost after the first year.
“The cost of a controversial education savings accounts bill could balloon from $45 million to $363 million within one year, as more parents apply for the funding… the program would most likely benefit wealthier Idahoans. Based on research from the Grand Canyon Institute, 45% of Arizona’s ESA recipients have a household income exceeding $80,000, well above the state’s median income.”
