The Disagreement: Are ESAs the Answer for Students, Parents, & K-12 Ed?

Mar 3, 2025

1:00pm – 2:00pm CT

We will do a live recording of The Disagreement podcast about whether Education Savings Accounts can help students, parents and K-12 schools. I will bring together an expert who thinks highly of ESAs (for parent empowerment, improved learning/outcomes for students, the expansion of alternative schooling) with an expert that is skeptical of how ESAs will be used, whether they will exacerbate inequalities and/or have a detrimental impact on public schools. I will host a healthy, productive disagreement that explores these nuances and helps the audience understand ESAs in a unique light.
