• Si los estados contribuyen colectivamente con otros 110.000 millones de dólares de sus propios presupuestos de educación para elegir a la escuela, además de los $ 20.000 millones en dólares federales, podrían proporcionar $ 12.000 en fondos escolares a cada estudiante de K-12 que hoy vive en la pobreza. If the states collectively contribute another $110 billion of their own education budgets toward school choice, on top of the $20 billion in federal dollars, that could provide $12,000 in school choice funds to every K-12 student who today lives in poverty.

• Trabajar con el Congreso en reformas para asegurar que las universidades están haciendo un esfuerzo de buena fe para reducir el costo de la deuda de la universidad y el estudiante a cambio de las exenciones fiscales federales y los dólares de los impuestos. Work with Congress on reforms to ensure universities are making a good faith effort to reduce the cost of college and student debt in exchange for the federal tax breaks and tax dollars.

Ensure that the opportunity to attend a two or four-year college, or to pursue a trade or a skill set through vocational and technical education, will be easier to access, pay for, and finish.
