| Abstract: | The ABCs of School Choice is a comprehensive, data-rich guide to every school choice program in America. As EdChoice celebrates the 25th anniversary of this seminal publication, readers may notice that this year's book looks a bit lighter than normal, however, it still includes all the information they are accustomed to reading and more. EdChoice has streamlined each program page to focus on the most critical information, while keeping all the key details intact. They have also brought back the universal maps (now in their second year) so one can quickly see which states meet the high bar of universal eligibility, options, and funding. New this year is an overview of the federal tax credit program, which provides yet another avenue for families to access the education of their choosing. The biggest change is reorganizing the book by state, rather than program type, so readers can more easily find the information they need most. This slimmer, more digestible edition continues to evaluate every program against the three pillars of universality: who is eligible, how broadly families can use their funds, and how those programs are funded. These benchmarks, pioneered by Milton Friedman and now EdChoice, help policymakers, parents, and stakeholders assess what's working and what still needs improvement. |
