Two new bills to channel $70 million into private school choice: What it means for Idaho families

Idaho lawmakers have introduced two significant bills aimed at expanding private school options for families. The first proposes a $50 million tax credit to help cover private school expenses, while the second increases funding for the Empowering Parents program to $50 million and includes private school tuition. These initiatives aim to provide financial relief and broaden educational choices for Idaho families, but may face challenges in securing full legislative support, with debates over funding and accountability.
