The School Choice Bill
Oklahoma bill proposes tax credit for school choice
Schools; Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit; Oklahoma Tax Commission website requirements; effective date.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, families could claim a state tax credit when they send kids to private schools, lowering their tax bill but costing the state money.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill would give parents a tax break for choosing private schools, shifting the cost of education to all taxpayers and helping private school operators grow.
