The Education Freedom Act of 2025 creates a scholarship program that allows eligible K-12 students to use state-funded scholarships for private school tuition and related educational expenses, with prioritization based on household income and previous participation. The bill also addresses school funding by providing additional state funds to local education agencies (LEAs) experiencing disenrollment, establishes procedures for distributing privilege tax revenues for public school construction and maintenance, and includes a one-time state-funded bonus for public school teachers.
