Have you ever wondered how educational choice affects state and local taxpayers?
Earlier this year, EdChoice and Reason Foundation launched a brand-new tool, the School Choice Calculator, to provide legislators, legislative staff, and stakeholders with an easy way to learn about the potential fiscal effects of funding educational opportunities in their state.
Join us for a virtual event on Wednesday, May 8th at 11:00 AM CST as EdChoice’s Marty Lueken and Reason Foundation’s Christian Barnard discuss and demo the K-12 School Choice Calculator.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions via a Q&A session following the discussion.
You can access the K-12 School Choice Calculator here before the webinar. You won’t want to miss this!
