School choice recognizes a simple truth: families are not all the same, and children are not one-size-fits-all. Iowa students deserve options that help them flourish. #SchoolChoice #IowaKids

Iowa families should not be forced into a false choice between supporting public schools and supporting school choice. Students deserve options, and parents deserve to be heard.

Parental choice and private initiative are keys to effective education. This is why expanding options benefits Iowa children. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
"Education spending will be most effective if it relies on parental choice & private initiative the building blocks of success throughout our society." ~ Milton Friedman

Accountability is built into Iowa’s ESA program. Independent oversight, verified expenses, and clear rules protect taxpayer funds while expanding school choice for families.

Every child learns differently. Iowa’s education system should be strong enough and flexible enough to serve students with different needs, goals, and gifts. #SchoolChoice #IowaKids

Nonpublic schools led in ELA, math, and science, while public schools made larger gains over five years (2020-2021 to 2024-2025). See what Iowa’s ISASP data shows: iowaace.org/iowa-k12-student…

High demand for education freedom accounts shows families want options that fit their kids. Iowa families benefit from the same choice. #SchoolChoice #StudentsFirst
👩🎓Nearly 3,800 waitlisted students have now received TX Education Freedom Accounts. #schoolchoice
While this latest round of awards moves more families into the program, the broader story remains unchanged:
👉Nearly 100,000 awards issued
👉More than 274,000 applications submitted
👉Demand still exceeds available funding
The waitlist itself has become evidence that TX families want more educational options than the current system can provide.
