Two bills titled “Choose Your School, Choose Your Future” would transform education in North Carolina. Lawmakers are putting serious action behind the idea that money should follow the child. Wherever the child attends school, their education dollars will follow them to that school setting. Here's what the bills would do:
- Expand the Opportunity Scholarship Program to provide scholarship funding to all families in North Carolina, removing the income requirements currently attached to the program
- Implements a scholarship award structure that prioritizes families with the highest financial need based on household income
If you believe in transforming education by funding students and not systems, sign this petition!
