(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)
While East leads West 3 ESA programs to 2, West has pulled an improbable victory over East with much broader eligibility.
To wit:
The once lonely Arizona program has been joined by neighboring Nevada. The Arizona ESA makes around a quarter of Arizona public school students eligible to participate. The new kid on the Western bloc makes 100% of public school students eligible.
While East has three programs, wonderful programs I might add, all three focus exclusively on special needs students, and in two out of three cases not even all special needs students.
I’m calling it: West is your leader in the clubhouse.
