Can we Share the Truth about Scholarship Tax Credits?
 |
|
A lot of opinion has been shared about the proposed KY legislation that would allow Scholarship Tax Credits. This program allows individuals and businesses to donate to a fund to help financially limited families afford the school that is best for their children’s needs. It does not take revenue away from public schools and it does not support the wealthy. Charles Leis, president of EdChoiceKY, shares the truth behind this needed legislation in this video. |
