It was established under Section 70411 of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and is part of the federal administration’s attempt to dismantle the federal Department of Education and slash federal funding for public education — negatively impacting public schools and students. Massachusetts has one of the strongest public education systems in the nation because we invest in public schools that serve all students. We should be focused on protecting and strengthening public education, not privatizing it. The federal school voucher scheme is wrong for Massachusetts because it: 1. Prioritizes private school students over public school students. 2. Prioritizes wealthy families over low-income students. 3. Threatens the fiscal health of Massachusetts public schools. 4. Contributes to the rollback of federal investments in public education. 5. Contains little accountability against the waste, fraud, and abuse of public funds. 6. Is a key piece of the Project 2025 playbook to dismantle public education. Learn more at protectourpublicschools.com!
