Republicans quietly passed a first-of-its-kind national school choice program in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill".

The claim states that Republicans quietly passed a first-of-its-kind national school choice program in President Trump’s 'big, beautiful bill. ' Multiple sources confirm this. The Hill and CBS42 both report that Republicans included the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) in the legislation, which is described as the first federal school choice legislation to be signed into law.

This act establishes a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit for donations to scholarship-granting organizations, effectively creating a national school choice program. Fox News highlights that this is considered the biggest piece of legislation in school choice history due to the establishment of a federal tax-credit scholarship program.

However, the Senate added a provision allowing blue states to opt out, which tempered enthusiasm among advocates but does not negate the fact that the program was passed. The American Press also confirms that this legislation was included in the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' and is the first federal school choice legislation.

Therefore, the claim is accurate in its core assertion about the passage and nature of the program within Trump's bill.
