The Credit Program Bill
Indiana may join federal scholarship tax credit program
Education matters.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, Indiana would let families claim a tax credit for K‑12 scholarships, and set up new rules for workforce training programs.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Supporters say it gives parents more school choices and helps workers train; opponents worry it diverts tax money from public schools and adds paperwork for training programs.
