The bill was intended to give parents who qualify a tax credit to use toward private or public school is on hold. On Wednesday afternoon, the state’s full committee adjourned debate on Governor Mark Sanford’s Put Parents in Charge Proposal.

On Tuesday, dozens of parents and educators voiced their opinions about the plan at the first public meeting in Columbia. South Carolina’s Superintendent of Education Inez Tenenbaum does not support the proposed plan.

Some say the credit will hurt public schools while other vigorously support the plan. The state’s house subcommittee passed the governor's school tax credits plan, 2-1.

Wednesday afternoon the full committee moved to adjourn the debate for the current legislative session. If made into law the tax credit will only apply to families who make less than 75- thousand a year.
