Arizona

This year Arizona became the first state to offer freedom of choice to all k-12 students. Each student is given $6,500 from the state to attend the school of their choice. This still leaves the problem of transportation since free busing is not included. Until that happens most of the inner city students who would like to go to school in the suburbs will not be free to choose. Here in the Twin Cities many parents in St Paul form car pools to take their children to the burbs.
