Education Freedom Not Used.

What is happening? New Hampshire has education savings accounts, vouchers, what ever you want to name them. But, it turns out the kiddos are staying put in their schools. Those grants average $4,600 per year; families must make below 300 percent of the poverty level, or $79,500 for a family of four, to qualify for them.

Why is this important? As of March 1, 2022, 1,800 had enrolled into the education savings accounts. 204 of those were in public school before moving to private school Leaving nearly 1600 vouchers being given to students already in private school or being home schooled.

How will this be important?  0.13% of all New Hampshire public school students have left to private school under the state’s voucher/education savings account program.
