AI Summary

New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the state will opt into the Trump administration’s Education Freedom Tax Credit, making New York the 31st state to join the nation’s first federal school‑choice program. Her decision breaks with Democratic leaders in both the state Senate and Assembly, and she becomes only the second Democratic governor to participate, after Colorado’s Jared Polis. Hochul said she will not “leave money on the table” and emphasized that the program must benefit all schools and students, including those in public schools. The move positions New York to receive federal funds aimed at expanding school‑choice options.
