New school choice? Trump wants education funds to go to parents if schools don’t reopen | Just The News

An outspoken school choice advocate, the president during a Thursday press conference said that if schools do not reopen parents should be able to use the funding to have their child educated elsewhere through homeschooling, public schools, private schools or charter schools, including religious institutions.

“We’re asking Congress to provide $105 billion dollars to schools as part of the next coronavirus relief bill. This funding will support mitigation measures such as smaller class sizes, more teachers and teacher aides, repurposing spaces to practice social distancing and crucially, mask wearing,” the president said.
