Any parent who's ever wondered whether their child is getting the education they deserve knows we can do better.

When Republicans passed the Working Families Tax Cuts Act last year, we created the first-ever federal school choice program: the Education Freedom Tax Credit. It's simple. You donate to a scholarship organization here in Florida, and every dollar—up to $1,700—comes straight off your federal tax bill. 

Those donations fund scholarships for K–12 students, and the money follows the child. Families across Martin, St. Lucie, and Palm Beach counties can use it for:

• Private school tuition

• Tutoring, books, and supplies

• Education technology

• Transportation

• Therapies for students with special needs

And not a dime of this comes out of our public schools. It's your neighbors choosing to give, and it works the same for a kid in public school, charter, private school, or learning at home.

Florida’s already opted-in, so Treasure Coast families will be ready to go on the day this launches. Nearly 3 out of 4 taxpayers can claim this credit, or 121 million Americans who can choose to put their money into a child’s education instead of into the federal bureaucracy.
