Hot off the Presses: national attention, Autism Scholarship stories, and our latest newsletter

We know Ohio is the heart of it all, and in many ways Ohio is the heart of school choice. With three voucher programs that represent the widest variety of programs in any state, Ohio is truly a launching pad for school choice nationally.

So it’s no surprise to see Ohio featured on the cover page of a national school choice publication, The School Choice Advocate, released by the Foundation for Educational Choice. The cover story spotlights the EdChoice Scholarship cap and features parents who know firsthand why it needs to be raised. Latisha, Colitha, Lisa, Monica, and Tanisha all shared their insights, along with St. Mary’s principal Dave Csank, Senator Jon Husted, and Senator Gary Cates.

Not only that, but we just released a beautiful publication highlighting the stories of families using the Autism Scholarship. Many thanks to the Lutz, Pendley, Wells, and Carr families who were excited to share the successes of the scholarship for them. Your voices are important!

And last but not least, our latest newsletter was just released – and it’s a good one. Click to read about:

  • Families maxing out the 14,000 available EdChoice scholarships
  • School choice drama hitting the big screen
  • How you can talk to local leaders about school choice
