State Insights

Every State surrounding Kentucky has an educational choice law.

Educational Choice laws help families with the cost of choosing the K-12 educational options that best fit their children’s needs. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. Some children might succeed at their assigned public school, while others might fit in better in a different environment. That’s why educational choice is so important!

Every state surrounding Kentucky has an educational choice law.  These laws help cover the cost of non-public school tuition for eligible families. In some instances, these programs cover educational expenses beyond tuition, including special needs therapies, textbooks and educational technology. 

Kentucky doesn’t have an educational choice program, but efforts are underway to change that.  To better understand the disadvantage our students face, EdChoice KY has started a spotlight series focused on programs in certain states surrounding the Commonwealth.
