Too many students are trapped in schools that don’t meet their needs, and parents are left without choices for their children’s future. The Goldwater Institute works to create a modern education system where families are empowered to choose the best schooling option for their children regardless of their zip code, where funds follow students, and where the government monopoly over the funding and provision of education is broken.
