Andrew Yates, YES government affairs director, recently published an op-ed in the Post and Courier calling for South Carolina lawmakers to fund every kid this session, as H.5164, a bill to expand education freedom to every family, heads to the Senate.
What happens if children in South Carolina attend a school that does not work for them? Perhaps they are being bullied. Perhaps they love theater, but their school does not offer performing arts. Or perhaps they have a learning disability that their school is struggling to accommodate.
If their family can afford it, they will probably use their resources to find their child a better fit. But children whose family does not have the means are often out of luck.
