Why we checked itSpecific dollar figure and percentage cited to characterize the scale of the Education Freedom Accounts program relative to total education spending — both figures are verifiable
What we foundState officials estimated Education Freedom Account costs at about $51.6 million for 2025-26, after the program was opened to all families, which is about 1.3 percent of $4.1 billion. The share was under 1 percent in 2024-25, when the accounts cost about $27.7 million.
CorrectedCorrection: Originally rated Overstated. Rating changed to Not supported following post-debate review: the claim understates the program's share rather than overstating it. At the state's estimate of about $51.6 million for 2025-26, the accounts are about 1.3 percent of $4.1 billion; the share was under 1 percent the year before. The summary was rewritten to match.
