2023 has been a banner year for education freedom, with nearly all families in nine states now empowered to direct education funding in a way that best meets their kids’ needs. These state laboratories of democracy are innovating, and voters are responding. With all this progress, it’s no surprise that Republicans are seen as more trustworthy than Democrats on education — a development that will have major implications for next year’s presidential election.

Given vast support for expanding educational freedom across the nation, Republican candidates would be smart to stoke this flame. But last week’s debate, as is often the case, was more about sound bites than real policy. Going forward, the candidates have an opportunity to present a bold, transformational vision for education that truly empowers families.

GOP candidates can set themselves apart by championing this transformational vision, anchored with three specific policy principles to empower families: Second, increase public school access and flexibility. In the vast majority of communities, students may attend only the public school in their attendance zone — even if another public school nearby that is a better fit.

All families, regardless of their ZIP code, should be empowered to access the public school that is the best fit for their child. For example, let’s say home schooling is the best fit for a child overall, but they love playing football, or they need to take advanced calculus. That child should be able to enroll in their local public school just for football and calculus. After all, public schools are public institutions funded by taxpayer dollars. Why should students have to enroll full time to participate?
