The Alliance for School Choice has issued its 2009-10 School Choice Yearbook. It is described as follows:
The Yearbook is filled with everything you need to know about the modern school choice movement, with a specific focus on events and activities in 2009 and 2010. For example:
- Despite the worst economic climate in decades, funding for school voucher and scholarship tax credit programs increased by $29 million this year, and student enrollment is up by 5 percent, to nearly 180,000.
- There are 11 states (plus D.C.) offering either school voucher programs or scholarship tax credit programs, and five of these programs are designed specifically to help students with special needs.
- Florida has more students enrolled in school choice programs than any other state in the country (46,900 students).
- Indiana is the newest state to add a school choice program, a $2.5 million corporate and individual scholarship tax credit program that will begin serving students in 2010.
