Bill Would Provide Tax Credit for Special Needs Kids in Private Schools
State lawmakers are considering a plan that would provide a tax credit to parents of special-needs students who send their children to private schools.
Members of the House Education Committee discussed a bill Monday that would provide up to $6,000 a year to such families. Under changes approved by the committee Monday, home schools would be ineligible for the tax credit for tuition expenses.
How about go a step further and provide a tax credit to any family that wants to send their kids to private school. If the government schools don’t begin to actually teach something all of these kids are going to have special needs by the time they graduate.
