## Resource

A New Hampshire dad, Josiah Armstrong, got caught in a policy gray area after using his state education freedom account funds to pay himself back for his kids’ participation in his own fitness business — a move that violated program rules. Though he believed he was following guidelines, the Children’s Scholarship Fund flagged the $4,000 transfer as a violation, leading to his business being disqualified and his kids removed from the program. After appealing, the state Board of Education reinstated his children, calling the punishment unfair since they weren’t responsible for their dad’s mistake — but upheld the business’s disqualification. The case has sparked calls for clearer rules and better provider disclosures, highlighting how confusing policy language can lead to unintended consequences for well-meaning parents.
