Education Savings Accounts, also referred to as ESAs, are the next evolution in school choice. While they are new to New Hampshire, they are not new to other states.
Education Savings Accounts are funds that children receive to a designated account that are used for specified educational purposes. Approved uses may include online classes, tutoring, textbooks, AP classes, assessments, special-needs services, dual-enrollment courses, private school tuition, homeschool expenses, and other education-related fees. They benefit the most vulnerable in our communities — those of lower-economics means and children with special needs.
Below is a list of articles about Education Savings Accounts as well as Senate Bill 193 (2018).
