Show Notes
State Senator Arthur Orr discusses the CHOOSE Act on WVNNs Dale Jackson Show, highlighting new funding for Alabamas school choice push. The bill is in the Senate, following the Houses approval of Governor Iveys budget plan. Eligibility remains capped at poverty level for this year, but will expand based on future allocations. Demand is surging, with families applying for $187 million last week. Governor Ivey requested $250 million, leaving room for increased applications. Education savings accounts, now refundable tax credits for K-12 expenses, promise real choice for more Alabama families.
