Truth Summary
With the largest taxpayer-funded school voucher program in the country, supporters will rally Tuesday at IPFW to celebrate its success during National School Choice Week.
But along with the celebrating will come calls to increase funding for K-8 vouchers from the maximum of $4,800 to 90 percent of a home district’s per-pupil costs and raise the ceiling on a 50 percent tax credit awarded to private donors.
“There are people out there saying, ‘You’re not poor enough to deserve choice,’ and that made them very upset,” Salyers said. “Many families are a lot of time barely making ends meet, and we want a choice for our kids, just like everybody else.”
