Directional Signals: A New Analysis of the Evolving Private School Choice Landscape ([link removed])
As universal private school choice programs expand across the country, early trends are raising important questions about cost, equity, and educational impact. In FutureEd’s latest report ([link removed]) , Senior Policy Analyst Bella DiMarco examines the rapid growth of these programs, analyzing participation, spending, student demographics, early achievement results, and the evolving provider landscape in what is the second or third year of implementation across 10 states. The report explores who is benefiting from the public funding, how programs are changing, and the broader implications for public education as more families use taxpayer dollars to access private schooling.
