(Columbia) April 11, 2005 - The Put Parents
in Charge bill goes to the full House Ways and
Means committee Tuesday.
WIS has learned that in the meeting Florence
Representative Jim McGee is going to introduce
an amendment that would use a voucher system
instead of a tax credit.
If that amendment passes, parents with a
child in a school labeled unsatisfactory for two
straight years would get money up front to send
their child to another public or private school.
Under the current plan families would receive a
credit on their state income taxes.
Tuesday night, there will be a public
hearing 6:00pm until 8:00pm in the
cafeteria at Logan Elementary School.
