School choice gives parents the freedom to choose their children’s “best fit” educational setting.
School choice programs remove the barriers that frequently prevent that freedom of choice. There are several different types of school choice programs being used in the United States today, including:
- tax-credit scholarships
- vouchers
- education savings accounts
- individual tax credits/deductions
Iowa currently has both the STO Tax-Credit program and an individual tax credit. Iowa school choice advocates are working to achieve the addition of an education savings account in the future.
