Abstract: This implementation guide was developed to assist states that want to give more families access to needed educational opportunities and the ability to customize their children's learning. Surging enthusiasm among voters and policymakers means more states are likely to launch Education Scholarship Account (ESA) programs in the immediate future. The first part of this guide is written for a general audience, or anyone seeking a brief refresher on the decades-long rise of private school choice and the emergence of ESAs. The heart of this report draws on the wisdom of a broad group of ESA administrators. Each step includes both key questions to consider and a spotlight of a state that has implemented an ESA program. The purpose of the step-by-step guide is to support new ESA administrators as they make high-quality programs available to families and sustain those programs for the foreseeable future.
