School choice will soon hit a tipping point. If Texas enacts a universal school choice bill, as seems very likely, then more than half of K-12 students nationwide will be eligible for private school choice. Already this year, three states—IdahoTennessee, and Wyoming—have enacted new universal education choice policies or expanded existing ones to make all K-12 students eligible.
