Impact of Voucher and ESA Programs
Recent voucher and Education Savings Account (ESA) programs are driving public school districts to evaluate their educational offerings. District leaders are now considering how many career pathways and Advanced Placement (AP) courses are available to students. Additionally, there is an increased emphasis on marketing these programs to parents, demonstrating how participation can enhance students' future opportunities. This strategic shift is encouraging richer conversations between parents and school leaders about educational products beyond traditional curricula.
