Fix California Education - Education Savings Account Act of 2022

Today, we talked with Lance Christensen about his work with Fix California Education - Education Saving Account Act of 2022. Californians pay high taxes for an expensive and outdated public education system that fails our children and does not prepare them for the 21st-century economy. Despite record spending on education this year, California public schools continue to rank below the national average in academics. The Education Savings Account Act of 2022 is a bi-partisan approach that provides the opportunity to have the funds follow the students so parents can decide which school offers the best options and learning experiences for their students. Additionally, extra funds not used before graduating high school can be saved for college or vocational schools. And the best part is that this comes at no additional cost to taxpayers. Here are some of the items that the Education Saving Account would provide parents: Students can opt into a K-12 savings account with $13,000 a year in state education funds. Parents can send their kids to an accredited school or homeschool of their choice. Funds can be used for tuition and other eligible education expenses. Children from low to medium-income families get initial access in the first four years. Up to $60,000 of leftover funds can be saved for college.
