Budget reconciliation should help K-12 parents and children

As President Donald Trump begins his term in office, Washington will soon be consumed with “reconciliation,” a process that allows the party that controls the White House and both houses of Congress to pass a major bill with a simple majority. It is a unique window of opportunity to do big and bold policy that advances freedom, liberty, and opportunity for the people.

As we observe National School Choice Week, one group should not be left out of reconciliation: K-12 parents and students. The way to achieve that goal is to include the Educational Choice for Children Act, a scholarship tax credit that will help parents of up to 2 million students across all 50 states choose the best school or education for their child.
