School Choice & the FTCSP

School choice has come more to the fore of public awareness in the past several years. This recent increase in attention may be evidenced by the inclusion of the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Program in 2025's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," which, among other things, created a federally funded tax credit scholarship program for elementary and secondary education. This panel will discuss the current state of educational choice and school choice programs across the nation, and the potential impact of the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship Program. Featuring: Jim Blew, Co-Founder, Defense of Freedom Institute Leslie Hiner, Vice President of Legal Policy, EdChoice Shaka Mitchell, Senior Fellow, the American Federation for Children (Moderator) Gene Schaerr, Schaerr Jaffe LLP
