 ESA Legislation

Many are asking,
“How does the new Students First Act impact homeschoolers?”


The short answer is
that it does not directly impact homeschooling for good or ill.

The Education Savings Account available under the Student First Act is accessible only to students who will enroll in an accredited private school. It is not available to homeschool students or those attending non-accredited private schools.

READ OUR BILL SUMMARY

Some details of the law will be fleshed out in the rule-making process,
so stay tuned for updates.
