The Credit Parents Bill
Oklahoma bill offers tax credit for parents choosing schools
Schools; Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Program; priority consideration; effective date.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would let parents claim a state tax credit when they send their kids to private schools, lowering their tax bill and shifting costs to other taxpayers.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, state tax money could go to families who can afford private schools, leaving less for public schools. Taxpayers may end up paying more for a benefit that only some families get.
