How would federal school choice impact private COA?

[Anonymous]

I watch the Sunday morning shows. I saw that the new education secretary is being interviewed and is talking about school choice.

This could mean that in the next few years, private school families could bring federal tax dollars with their students.

Would this be considered a deduction from COA regardless of income or would it be redistributed by the schools through proportional inflation in COA and reallocation to financial aid recipients? Or would the policy differ by the school as the individual boards voted?

It’ll likely be a dollar for dollar increase in COA

It won’t likely be the same amount per child. It will vary based on residency at least. The states will decide allocation per student.

You can see where this would go.

Tuition would go up across the board.

It varies based on whether you receive aid or not.

Roughly it’s tuition + fees + incidentals -grants- financial aid.

It means cost of attendance. Tuition plus whatever else. You hear it most often with college, where room and board can double the cost of tuition, so you really need to be aware of COA rather than “just” the published tuition.

Yes, but this would be above and beyond the usual increases every year.

Would schools even be willing to accept federal money ? They want to be separate from federal oversight

This. Reputable private schools will likely do everything they can to avoid taking money that would then subject them to federal oversight.

Just like colleges have?

They already took federal grants and funds. Private schools that haven't sure aren't going start after seeing what's happening to colleges.

Can’t see this happening. It is not actually popular and this administration has much bigger issues to deal with.
