Gov. Sarah Sanders said Monday (April 1) that a new cohort of eligible students could begin the application process for Education Freedom Accounts, the voucher program constructed under her LEARNS Act education overhaul that allows public school funding to follow students to other options, including private school or homeschooling.

Year 2 eligible children include those whose parents are veterans, military reserve members, first responders, and law enforcement officers, as well as students who previously attended D-rated schools.

The department began accepting applications for the 2024-2025 school year on Monday (April 1).
