Paying for Choice is a new K-12 initiative that delves into the evolution and impact of Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). We surveyed 1,200+ parents and 180 providers (the largest concentrated sample of families and providers on attitudes toward school choice that has been carried out in the U.S.) to illuminate the potential and challenges of ESAs in shaping the future of education in the United States.
In Part 1, Tyton Partners sets the stage of ESAs by providing a brief history and assessing where we stand today.
In Part 2, we assess how parents make decisions about enrolling their children in alternative education programs.
In Part 3, we examine the journey of becoming aware of, applying for, and accessing ESAs; particularly focusing on the barriers that hinder parents from enrolling in the program.
