Wow, I hope this action is repeated around the country.
snippet:
Today, the New Hampshire House and Senate took a stand for choice and freedom in education. Both bodies mustered an overwhelming 69-percent super-majority in favor of the School Choice Scholarship Act, over-riding the Governors veto.
This is by far the largest margin of victory ever secured for a new private school choice program. The law is path-breaking, supporting for the first time in the nation a familys choice to home school their child.
The law protects independence and innovation in private education, imposing no new restrictions on private or home schools, because the lawmakers understand that direct accountability to parents and taxpayers is the most effective kind of accountability.
The program allows up to 30 percent of the credit funds in the first year (more in subsequent years) to support children who are already in private school, but need assistance in order to remain there.
And if after the first two years, the program can expand by 25 percent each year.
