The Kids Outside Bill
Kansas proposes tax credit for kids outside public schools
Establishing the education opportunity tax credit to provide an income tax credit for taxpayers with eligible dependent children who are not enrolled in public school.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, families with children not in public school could claim a state income tax credit, lowering the amount of tax they owe.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should watch this bill because it could give a tax break to families who send kids to private schools, but it also cuts state revenue for other services.
