Do you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?
"I'm opposed to a State funded voucher / tuitioning program. Towns like Croydon already tuition out students to other schools, but this is a local decision. I support local control. State funding should not go to non-public schools. If choice is needed, let's create school choice within our public schools."
