Public dollars belong in public schools.
"In total, $11.5 million of EFA money was spent on tuition in the 2024-25 school year, or about 57% of total EFA expenditures that year. A review by the Bulletin found the majority of that tuition spending went to religious institutions." From @ethandewitt.bsky.social #NHPolitics
Religious schools dominate EFA spending, continuing trend • New Hampshire Bulletin
Most of the tuition spending in the education freedom account continued to go to private religious schools last school year, new numbers released by the Children’s Scholarship Fund indicate.
