  • The CHOOSE Act: Preparing for a Historic Investment in Education
    Oct 18 2024

    Soon, Alabama families will have access to thousands of dollars in funding for their child's education. It's a historic investment, and as of October 2024, Education Service Providers (or ESPs for short) can begin applying to participate.

    As exciting as the CHOOSE Act is, it also comes with rules and regulations that can feel daunting for both parents and schools.

    We hear from AISA Executive Director Michael McLendon and AISA Director of Member Services Caleb Smith, as we tackle some of the biggest questions surrounding how schools and families can benefit from this funding moving forward.
