State vouchers for students who live here

About $728,176 in 2025–26: an estimate of the education savings accounts (vouchers) paid for private-school tuition for students living in the district, at $7,988 each. This is state money, not taken from the district’s budget, but it’s state school funding that follows these students to private schools instead.

The state doesn’t publish vouchers by district. The estimate is the private-school students living here, times the share of private students statewide who had an ESA that year, times the per-student amount. Before 2025–26, ESAs depended on family income, so the early years are rougher.
