The Las Vegas Review-journal on how school choice is expanding across the country:

The Chicken Little claims from teacher unions about school choice will soon be much less believable.

Choice is spreading like wildfire across the country. On Tuesday, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed a universal school choice bill. Next school year, most Iowa students will be eligible for an education savings account. Within three years, there will be universal eligibility. ESAS give parents a bank account, which can fund education-related items such as private school tuition, textbooks and tutoring.

In Florida, House Speaker Paul Renner is backing a universal school choice bill. Mr. Renner called it “the largest expansion of school choice in the history of our state.” The bill passed a Florida House subcommittee on Thursday. Florida has long been a leader in school choice and education reforms. Signing a universal school choice program would be a nice accomplishment for Gov. Ron Desantis, especially if he’s preparing to run for president.

On Monday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted about National School Choice Week. “This session, we will empower parents to choose the education path that best fits their child’s learning needs,” he said.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted similar sentiments Monday, “With parental choice, we will empower every parent to put their kids on a path to prosperity, not government dependency.”

On Thursday, the Utah Legislature sent the governor a bill creating universal eligibility for an ESA program, although funding is capped. Utah Republicans tied expanding school choice to teacher pay raises. Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen is pushing an opportunity scholarship program that would start at $25 million annually and grow by a whopping 25 percent annually.

On top of that, Arizona passed a universal ESA program last year. In West Virginia, more than 90 percent of students are eligible for ESAS.

Successful or not, these proposals make Gov. Joe Lombardo’s school choice plan look especially tepid.
