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.
“Giving parents the freedom to choose the education setting that best fits their child’s needs will help every student in our state reach their full potential,” Ayotte said. “I’m proud to sign this into law today along with the Parental Bill of Rights, which ensures parents are the central voice in their children’s education.”
The Live Free or Die State has long been at the forefront in safeguarding education freedom and choice. New Hampshire’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 child’s education.
