School choice programs allow families to select educational options for their children beyond their assigned public schools. These programs can include charter schools, private schools, and homeschooling, giving parents the flexibility to choose the best fit for their child's needs and learning style. These programs often aim to improve educational outcomes by fostering competition among schools. They can be funded through various means, such as vouchers or tax credits, which help cover tuition costs for families who opt for alternatives to traditional public education.
