A family was on the verge of switching to public schools due to high costs. The annual expense of keeping all five children in private school exceeded $25,000.
Relief came when the children were accepted into a state-funded program. This allowed them to remain in their current school, which was a significant factor for the family.
Further details about the program and its impact on the family are available. The program has provided necessary support for one of the children with a learning disability, giving the family more options for their children's education.
