What happened
Wyoming established the Education Freedom Tax Credit and began accepting applications for non-profit organizations to serve as qualified Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs). This program allows individual taxpayers to contribute to an approved SGO and receive a federal income tax credit of up to $1,700 annually, starting January 1, 2027.

Why it matters
The program utilizes a federal tax credit established by Donald Trump's Working Families Tax Cuts Act to provide direct funding for K-12 education in Wyoming. Participating SGOs will distribute scholarships for expenses such as tuition, tutoring, and instructional materials to eligible Wyoming students.
Mark Gordon chairs the Education Commission of the States and is involved in a policy roadmap based on recent Wyoming education measures.
