Funding Expands, Access Grows, and New Battles Emerge in 2026
With most legislative sessions winding down in 2026, no new choice programs have been created, but the volume of legislation impacting educational freedom remains high.

EdChoice Legal Advocates (EdLA)
To safeguard choice programs for families, EdChoice created EdChoice Legal Advocates (EdLA) to engage in the school choice litigation effort directly.
