BY THE
NUMBERS
How would tuition tax credits affect public schools? Supporters
and opponents differ.
+$600 per student
• Supporters say schools would see
a net gain of $600 for every student who left for another
school
— $2,040 per student
• Opponents say schools would
lose between $570 and $2,040 in funding for every student who
leaves.
— $234 million
• Opponents also point to a state
Board of Economic Advisors opinion that says the state budget
would lose $234 million in revenues when the bill is fully
enacted as parents take credits to lower the income tax they owe the
state. |
