ESAs + the federal tax credit = new possibilities and new policy friction for ed tech.

Thank you @GovKathyHochul for putting New York students first by opting into the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program!

.@WithOdyssey_ has developed a Q&A to make it easier for #privateschools to understand how to repay tuition funds that haven't been used if a #TEFA student leaves the school after enrollment. Find it here: support.withodyssey.com/hc/e… #txed

Thanks to those who attended our Austin District Meeting yesterday – our attentive audience asked lots of great questions, and @WithOdyssey_ ’s Daniel Warner helped TPSA answer some of them in real time! #privateschools #TEFA #txed

Just basic facts and transparency always prove the teachers union talking points wrong.
This is why we @SchoolChoiceNow always advocate to have these facts tracked and published as part of any school choice law.

Excellent op-ed by @josephjconnor reports, with over 100k students using the Texas #schoolchoice program, "Nearly 25 percent of the funded students have a qualifying disability, allowing those with special needs who have historically been trapped in underperforming schools to finally access specialized therapies, tailored tutoring, and schools that were previously out of reach." @BradBuckleyDVM @hamlind1 realcleareducation.com/artic…

We love seeing headlines like this!
"Teachers unions suffered yet another deserved but embarrassing defeat this week. In Arizona, the state Supreme Court found that not only did unions fail to submit enough valid signatures to get their anti-school-choice proposition on the fall ballot, but they also broke the law by hiring felons to collect signatures."
The Texas Education Freedom Account program shows that school choice can work at scale while still reaching the families it was designed to serve.
Read more from our founder on the successful rollout of the TEFA program.
In year one, Texas launched the largest first-year school choice program in U.S. history, and became the second largest school choice program overall.
1st year data from the Texas Education Freedom Account program is remarkable:
-274,000 applications.
-109,000+ students funded.
-More than 100,000 students still on the waitlist.
A major victory for Arizona families and educational freedom.
Odyssey was proud to support this effort alongside the Goldwater Institute and a broad coalition committed to protecting school choice.
A great day for parents and students across Arizona.
"The Texas program is the first program of its kind to serve more than 100,000 students in its first year."

More than 100,000 Texas students have now received funding through the state’s new Education Freedom Accounts program.
Comptroller @DonHuffines says 101,600 students have received awards so far—with more than 100,000 still on the waitlist.

Comptroller Huffines today marked a major milestone that "demonstrates the demand for educational choice in Texas."
The Texas Education Freedom Accounts program is the first of its kind to serve more than 100,000 students in its first year.

More than 85,000 Texas students have already confirmed participation in the state’s new school choice program, according to @DonHuffines’ first annual report. More than 120,000 additional eligible applicants remain on the waiting list. educationfreedom.texas.gov/w…

The Promise Scholarship student application period for 2026-2027 spring semester funding is officially open! Visit MyGeorgiaPromise.org to review eligibility and apply by August 31! Please note: Applications are not reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Every one of these numbers represents a child and a family working to create a better future. It's encouraging to see education choice reaching the families it was designed to serve and giving parents more control over their children's education.
Texas ESAs are working exactly as intended.
102,000+ students awarded. 79% from low-income families earning $66,000 or less. The remaining 21% are all families with a child who has a disability.
This program is a lifeline for parents making real sacrifices to find the best education for their kids.

Last week, we welcomed John Schoenig from @NotreDame's Alliance for Catholic Education to speak with the Odyssey team about the history of school choice and the future of educational opportunity. Thank you, John, for sharing your expertise and perspective with our team.

Applications for Wyoming's Education Savings Account program have opened for the 2026-27 school year.
Programs like these help parents find schools that best fit a child's individual needs.
