Dear Parents,
You can help keep private school options and opportunities available and growing for Hoosier families. Please contact your State Representative and tell them to support improvements to the Choice Scholarship and Tax Credit Programs in HB 1591 and the House budget, HB 1001. Additional information about these bills is listed in the bullet points below. Please personalize your email to tell your family's story so that legislators understand school choice's positive impact on thousands of families across our state.
HB 1591 addresses several important fixes in the Choice Scholarship program, including the fee language, the kindergarten birthdate, and including Pre-K costs as an allowable Scholarship Tax Credit (SGO) expense. It also has a provision that allows non-public school leaders to attend the State Principals Institute.
HB 1001 provides school choice options to more Hoosier families, increasing the eligibility for Choice Scholarships to 400% Free and Reduced Lunch (more than $240,000 for a family of four) and eliminating the various pathways that students must meet to be eligible under current law.
