The ability to choose where your child is educated — commonly known as school choice — has long been a hot-button issue at the state level. But with a recent U.S. Supreme Court case involving a virtual Catholic school in Oklahoma and the introduction of the Educational Choice for Children Act in the U.S. Senate, the debate has a revived national focus.
In this week’s episode, cohosts Mike Walsh and Mike Bress (yes, we know — double the Mikes, double the confusion) sit down with the Diocese of Camden’s Dr. Bill Watson, Superintendent of Schools, and Dr. Sarah Kerins, Assistant Superintendent, to unpack the complex and evolving world of school choice. Together, they explore how these national developments could impact Catholic schools in New Jersey, what the ECCA could mean for families, and what advocates can do to support educational freedom.
If you’ve ever wondered how Catholic school funding works, what the legal landscape looks like, or how you can make a difference — this is the episode for you.
