The Truth About ESA Funding

February 12, 2025 By IACS

In terms of the entire state budget, State Foundation School aid in FY 2025 represents 43.62%. ESAs represent 2.01%. In FY 2026 that would be instead 41.23% for State Foundation School Aid and 3.34% for ESAs. Funny how ESA critics never discuss those numbers.
