More gains for school choice across the country

(Matt McDonald/CNA) — Idaho has enacted a school choice bill that would allow parents to use public funds to send their kids to private schools, and two other Republican-controlled states are moving closer to approving similar legislation.

The Idaho measure provides up to $5,000 per student per year for private school or for home schooling and $7,500 per year for students with disabilities.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little, a Republican, signed the bill into law on Feb. 27.
