Governor Kay Ivey signed the CHOOSE Act at an event at the State Capitol, becoming the latest state to pass universal school choice legislation. Alabama joins a wave of red states.
Republican Governor Kay Ivey on Thursday signed the CHOOSE Act into law, making Alabama the latest state to make universal school choice law. 'Alabama is only the 14th state in the nation to provide families with an education savings account option,' Ivey said after signing the legislation.
School choice became a salient issue after the COVID-19-induced lockdowns sparked a conversation on the scope of the government’s authority and the type of content that should be taught to children from public school curricula. Ten states have passed universal school choice legislation so far, with Arizona leading the charge in July 2022. These measures were made possible because of the GOP trifecta in those states --a trend across all of the red states that passed school choice legislation.
