South Carolina bill H4894 would effectively rob the public school system of about $36 million JUST IN ITS FIRST YEAR of implementation.
This bill redirects tax money from public schools to private institutions in a misguided effort to give parent's "choice." In practice, this Parent's Choice bill actually undermines the public school system, which desperately needs its funding, and widens the gap between wealthy and poor students even further.
NOW is the time for us to stand up for students who need the public schools to be there for them. Keep the funding where it belongs: in the public schools!
