I’m curious to learn how administrators are thinking about the upcoming education freedom tax credit as a means to potentially fill that gap - and if that thinking is realistic given the known limits given to the use of those funds by the IRS. (FWIW, I think it’s a slippery slope from “let’s use this private money for things we need” to “whoops, public schools aren’t so public anymore!” … so I’m not actually advocating for this.)

I’m curious too Jess! The gap it fills is narrow: enrichment and student-facing services, not core operating costs. Any administrator hoping this covers a real budget shortfall is misreading the mechanism.

I know this program is different than the voucher program here in my state of Arizona. But it should be a cautionary tale for anyone outside this state.
