| Abstract | In 2016, Maryland adopted the Broadening Options and Opportunities for Students Today (BOOST) voucher program that helps pay K-12 private school expenses for low-income households. BOOST vouchers target low-income families. Funds are available to public school students as well as children in private schools and homeschools who qualify for free or reduced-price meals because their household incomes fall below 130 or 185 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, respectively. Each year, priority is given to already-participating BOOST students, children attending public schools, and those qualifying for free (as opposed to reduced-price) meals. The lowest-income families receive first consideration. Awards are distributed in the form of vouchers that are payable to participating private schools and range in value from $1,000 to $4,400, with an additional $1,000 adjustment for special-education students. Compared to other states' voucher programs, Maryland's is on the lower end of student participation and budgetary savings. Average BOOST spending, excluding the budgetary savings from reduced public school enrollment, amounts to less than one-tenth of 1 percent of Maryland's elementary- and secondary-school budget.
