Do you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?

Allow parents to change public school districts to find a better fit for their child and bring their education property tax money with them as we used to be allowed to do. It's better than state interference and regulation of private education."
