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.

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

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.”

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.

Senate Bill 2 would set aside $1 billion in taxpayer money to give some parents $10,000 vouchers to spend at private schools.

A push to reinstate South Carolina’s private school voucher program cleared a major hurdle at the State House on Thursday.

Tennessee's Republican-dominant Statehouse gaveled into session Monday with blueprints from Gov. Bill Lee to greatly expand school voucher access and find ways to embrace President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda.
