With a few strokes of her pen on Tuesday, New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte delivered on her promise to empower parents by signing a Parental Bill of Rights and expanding eligibility for education choice to all families.

โ€œGiving parents the freedom to choose the education setting that best fits their childโ€™s needs will help every student in our state reach their full potential,โ€ Ayotte said. โ€œIโ€™m proud to sign this into law today along with the Parental Bill of Rights, which ensures parents are the central voice in their childrenโ€™s education.โ€

The Live Free or Die State has long been at the forefront in safeguarding education freedom and choice. New Hampshireโ€™s trailblazing Education Freedom Accounts was among the first education savings account proposals in the nation to empower families with the freedom and flexibility to customize their childโ€™s education.

With the accounts, parents can pay for tuition at private schools or out-of-district public schools, tutoring, textbooks, online courses, homeschool expenses, special-needs therapy, and more. Previously, fewer than half of Kโ€“12 students in the Granite State were eligible. Now, with the signing of SB 295, all of them are eligible, making New Hampshire the 17th state to adopt publicly funded universal-eligibility education choice.
