State Efforts Towards School Choice

In this podcast conversation, former Arizona Senate president Steve Yarborough and I discuss the impact of Arizona's innovative techniques for getting education funding into the hands of parents. We emphasize that the conversation is relevant to the whole country, as different states are attempting various approaches to school choice. We mention Pennsylvania's Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, who recently vetoed a bill related to school choice.

Steve also talks about his work with the Ohio and Arkansas Legislatures, highlighting the significant school choice legislation passed in Arkansas and Ohio in the past 18 months. He lists several other states that have expanded school choice measures during this period. The conversation touches on the importance of providing a quality K-12 education for low-income kids and the need to address this issue early on rather than later in life.

We express optimism about the growing support for school choice, with 19 states adopting significant legislation in a short period of time. Note that not all of these states have Republican legislatures, and we discuss a high-profile black female Democrat in Georgia who switched parties due to the Democrat Party's stance on school choice.
