Robert Alt, president and chief executive officer of The Buckeye Institute, issued a statement on the news that the Ohio Coalition for Equity and Adequacy of School Funding is planning to challenge Ohio’s school voucher program, saying in part, “This is the wrong lawsuit at the wrong time for the wrong reasons.”
In Giving Families Certainty: Enhancing Education with Education Savings Accounts, The Buckeye Institute outlines how federally funded education savings accounts (ESA), can stabilize educational routines for families during future epidemics, natural disasters, or other unanticipated disruptions. “A federally funded ESA initiative—funded using existing tax dollars and with states in the lead—would give families the tools they need to continue their child’s education during future epidemics or natural disasters.”
