Bishops from the Catholic diocese of Bismarck and Fargo have united in a significant appeal to their parishioners, urging them to reach out to state legislators in support of Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). In a joint letter released on Sunday, the bishops emphasized the importance of educational choice and the potential benefits ESAs could bring to families across North Dakota.
The bishops highlighted that ESAs would provide parents with greater control over their children's education, enabling them to allocate funds for various educational expenses, including tuition, tutoring, and other learning resources. This initiative is seen as a way to empower families, particularly those who may face financial barriers to accessing quality education.
By encouraging parishioners to take action, the bishops aim to foster a collaborative effort in advocating for policies that support educational freedom and equity. They believe that every child deserves the opportunity to receive a quality education tailored to their individual needs.
