Legislative Memo: Opposition to EITC Expansion
July 7, 2022
To: Members of the General Assembly
From: Jerry T. Jordan, President
Re: Opposition to EITC (Voucher) Expansion
No matter the form, vouchers harm public schools. Whether in the form of EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) expansion, ESA (Education Savings Accounts) creation, or any other mechanism, vouchers siphon money from traditional public schools without any fiscal, operational, administrative, or academic performance accountability or transparency.
We are opposed to any education bill that incorporates voucher expansion into an already over-funded program.
