The Parental Choice Bill
Parental choice tax credit bill introduced in Oklahoma
Schools; Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act; website requirements; effective date.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would let parents claim a tax credit for choosing a school and would require schools to post information on a website.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, families could get money back on their taxes when they pick a school, but the state would lose revenue, so taxpayers might pay more.
