New Hampshire’s Education Freedom Account program has expanded to roughly 10,600 students and about $50 million in public funding. In 2026, lawmakers raised concerns that the private administrator was not adequately tracking whether some purchased special-education interventions produced the intended results. The wider debate concerns family choice, academic accountability, eligible expenses, administrative transparency, and the effect of enrollment shifts on public-school budgets. An Education Freedom Account uses public education funds to reimburse or pay for approved private-school tuition, tutoring, curriculum, therapy, or related expenses. Families need flexibility, especially when a child’s school is not meeting their needs. But public money should come with receipts, basic outcome checks, and protection against providers selling hope without results.
