“Policymakers in 40 states debated 111 educational choice bills – 79 percent of which related

to ESAs,” Robert Enlow, of EdChoice, said when announcing the findings of a new EdChoice report, the “ABC’s of School Choice.” “As the months ticked by, a total of seven states enacted new choice programs and 10 expanded ones already in operation,” he said. As of Nov. 14, eight states joined Arizona and West Virginia, which already have universal school choice programs, to offer “all students choice, making 2023 the Year of Universal Choice.”
