Alabama House Bill 129, better known as the CHOOSE Act, was signed into law Thursday morning.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The act will require the Alabama state legislature to allot a minimum of $100 million yearly for Education Savings Accounts . These accounts will allow eligible families to access up to $7,000 in state dollars for private school tuition, tutoring or transfer fees for moving to another public school. Parents can also get up to $2,000 for home-school expenses.
The first 500 slots are reserved for families of students with disabilities. Eligibility is initially limited to families earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level — about $77,460 for a family of three. The income cap will go away in 2027, but lower-income families and families with students with disabilities will have priority for receiving funds.
In a press release, Governor Ivey said, “At the end of the day, we all want every Alabama student — no matter the zip code, no matter the school, to receive a quality education.”from some Alabama public schools.The way to fix what some would say are broken public schools, is not to defund them, overregulate them, and to open the doors for resegregation, but to provide them with the support and resources necessary to serve the needs of children.
