Tax Credit Scholarship Supporters Urge Undecided Governors to Opt In

Children’s Scholarship Fund President and CEO Darla Romfo is urging governors to act now on the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program, including in states that have not yet opted in. With Election Day over, Romfo says leaders should move quickly to expand scholarship opportunities for families. She argues the program would not reduce existing K-through-12 education budgets, but would add new funding for students in both public and nonpublic schools. In Illinois, Governor J.B. Pritzker has not yet announced whether the state will participate. Supporters say the decision could shape future education options for families across the state.
