An executive order signed by President Donald Trump directs an emphasis on school choice and private school voucher programs when it comes to education funding, something that’s been happening in Ohio for several decades now.

After hours of testimony Tuesday, the Senate Committee on Education advanced Senate Bill 2, a school voucher bill, setting it up for a floor vote.

The Texas Senate is proposing $1 billion annually for a school voucher program. Sen. Brandon Creighton has now filed SB 2. Here's what's proposed.

The Senate sponsor defended the voucher proposal against critics who said it favors affluent families: “It shouldn’t be based on income. It should be universal.”

After a week-long hiatus, South Carolina’s controversial school voucher bill is back up for debate at the State House.

The Texas Senate Education Committee on Tuesday night voted to advance school voucher legislation for a full vote in the Senate after hours of public testimony largely focused on whether the proposal would live up to its promise of prioritizing low-income families and children with disabilities.

In Pennsylvania, the vast majority of school funding comes from local property taxes and the state. Still, Trump’s order was cheered by conservative activists pushing expanded school choice programs.

Many local officials in rural areas oppose school vouchers. Some state lawmakers from those areas back Gov. Bill Lee's plan.

South Carolina moved closer Thursday to reinstalling a private school voucher program originally deemed unconstitutional by the state's Supreme Court.

The Tennessee House on Thursday approved Gov. Bill Lee’s universal private school voucher bill, while the state Senate was to take up the matter later in the day.
