Senate Bill 528 would give individuals the opportunity to donate to a Scholarship Granting Organziation (SGO) and get a 50% tax credit. The SGO would then be able to proved scholarships to families who want to send their child to another public school or a private school and cannot afford to do so. Scholarships would be limited to the student being new at the school and whose family would be at 200% of the free and reduces lunch rate or below. Every child deserves the opportunity to get a first class education and this is a step in the right direction.
SB 528 passed the Senate by a vote of 35 to 15 and now goes to the Hosue of Representaitves.
Please call or email you State Representative and ask them to “Vote YES on SB 528.”
