Elections over, Shapiro quiet on commitment to federal school choice program

(The Center Square) – Roughly 1.8 million students in Pennsylvania are potentially impacted by Gov. Josh Shapiro’s waffling over joining the federal school choice tax credit program. With elections in the rearview, its unclear when the administration will publicize its decision. The Center Square was unsuccessful in reaching the governor’s communications team on Thursday. In the meantime, a vocal coalition of program supporters sent a letter to Shapiro encouraging him to opt-in giving families access to educational support long financially out of reach. “That’s what makes this program so exciting,” said Jenny Sved, executive director of Teach PA, and one of nearly two dozen signatories from The Coalition for Educational Freedom, in a statement shared with The Center Square. “Whether it’s helping a family afford Jewish day school tuition, giving a public school student access to tutoring or SAT prep, or providing additional support for a child with special needs, this is a win for families across Pennsylvania.” The proposed program regulations from the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service allow eligible taxpayers to claim an annual credit of up to $1,700 for qualifying contributions to scholarship-granting organizations, or up to $3,400 for married couples filing jointly.
