Legislatures in These States Make Real Progress for Education Choice

In the midst of the school choice movement’s most successful legislative season last year, The Hill asked: “School choice won big in states this year. Is the movement about to hit a wall?”

If it did hit a wall, as the news outlet suggested, the school choice movement burst right through that wall.

Sure, the Texas Legislature failed to enact an education choice bill last year. And last week, the state’s Republican primary voters responded by replacing numerous incumbents who oppose school choice with challengers who support it.

Likewise, education choice bills foundered in the Alabama and Wyoming state legislatures last year. But this year, those two states are leading the charge in enacting robust education choice policies.
