Republican Sens. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Tim Scott of South Carolina are celebrating School Choice Week by introducing a bill to empower businesses and individuals to fund education choice for students.
Introduced Wednesday, the Educational Choice for Children Act provides a charitable donation incentive for individuals and businesses to fund scholarships for students to cover expenses related to K-12 public and private education. School Choice Week began Monday.
“Parents want to see their child succeed. Giving them the ability to make decisions over their child’s education puts that child’s needs first,” Cassidy said in a statement first provided to The Daily Signal. “More freedom empowers parents and allows American children to thrive in school.”
