Public school districts in at least 30 states could introduce new fees for tutoring, technology, transportation, and other educational services under President Donald Trump’s federal school choice program. Beginning January 1, the initiative will provide dollar-for-dollar federal tax credits to individuals who donate to approved K-12 scholarship organizations, with funds available to students attending both public and private schools. However, public schools face significant legal, financial, and administrative challenges in participating, particularly as the IRS has yet to clarify which expenses qualify for scholarship funding. While many districts already charge for supplemental services, state laws restricting fees could complicate implementation. Scott Bowling, executive director of the Indiana Association of School Business Officials, highlighted the legal uncertainty surrounding permissible charges, explaining that schools were instructed to “Check with your local counsel,” requiring districts to seek legal guidance on which expenses could be charged to families. He also questioned the practicality of charging families for supplemental education, warning: “You’re not going to get anybody to come to your tutoring program if you’re asking them to pay.”
