Gov. Henry McMaster signed a school choice bill into law allowing some families in South Carolina access to vouchers for private schools and other education costs.
"Among the benefits are not just preparing our people to live happy, strong, healthy, meaningful lives — the impact on our economic growth will be enormous," McMaster said. He noted that the specific ideas in the legislation came from other states.
Other speakers at the press conference noted that the push for vouchers in South Carolina has been ongoing since 2004. The law will gradually roll out, starting by allowing households that do not exceed twice the federal poverty level to apply for the 2024-2025 school year, then expanding in the 2026-2027 school year to families making four times the poverty level. Additionally, the participant amount is capped with 5,000 for the 2024-2025 school year and gradually increasing to 15,000 for the 2026-2027 school year.
