We have 2 updated bills in front of our state legislature that could greatly affect our students and our schools.

The first is HB 1001. This bill would increase the Scholarship Tax Credit cap from $9.5M to $12.5M for the next fiscal year and allows for automatic growth in future years. This past year the need for these scholarships far outweighed the supply. This program is a great way for the state to promote the private funding of scholarships for low and middle-income families.

The second is HB 1004. This bill would expand the state’s pre-k pilot program for low-income students. Currently, the bill ensures that a student who receives a pre-k scholarship is also eligible to receive a Choice Scholarship when they enter kindergarten, but some legislators want to take that choice away.

Tell your state legislator that you support HB 1004 with the provision to allow state-funded pre-k students access to a Choice Scholarship (voucher) in kindergarten!
