CU Boulder Professor Kevin Welner of the School of Education is available to comment generally on the Trump administration’s school-choice education proposal to provide financial support via a tuition tax credit to families who choose to send their children to private schools. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is scheduled to outline the new plan in Indianapolis tonight in a speech to the American Federation for Children. Welner has written a book about these tax credit policies and recently explained key issues around the policies in an article published by The Conversation.
