Your ETC proposal is a good start to lessening the inequity of the present system. Also, the tuition costs can quadruple when a child moves up to a non-public high school. Perhaps, the proposal could be amended to cover these situations. Please contact me with the bill information and any changes that occur. It would not take away money from the public education system but would give parents the ability to direct additional resources to their children's education and receive a state tax credit for the cost.
Every little bit helps.
