7Which of the following statements do you most agree with? Parental choice lets parents choose the best educational option for their child.

12Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) are a new type of parental choice program now operating in several states. ESAs are taxpayer-funded accounts that allow parents to use the account to pay for educational expenses such as tuition, fees, tutoring, testing or books. The size of an ESA account is usually tied to a percentage of the average state per pupil spending. North Carolina recently approved a limited ESA program for students with special needs. Given this information do you support or oppose ESA programs?

7Which of the following statements do you most agree with? Parental choice lets parents choose the best educational option for their child.

11Charter schools are public schools which are not governed by a local school board but by an independent board. While they are subject to the same academic requirements as traditional public schools, charter schools are exempt from certain administrative regulations. Do you support or oppose charter schools?

12Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) are a new type of parental choice program now operating in several states. ESAs are taxpayer-funded accounts that allow parents to use the account to pay for educational expenses such as tuition, fees, tutoring, testing or books. The size of an ESA account is usually tied to a percentage of the average state per pupil spending. North Carolina recently approved a limited ESA program for students with special needs. Given this information do you support or oppose ESA programs?
