Outlook
Pennsylvania
is on the cusp of enacting strong school choice legislation. Last session, the Senate passed legislation
expanding the state’s scholarship tax credit program and enacting opportunity
scholarships for students from low-income families that are stuck in failing
schools. Governor Corbett is committed
to making school choice a legislative priority and the state’s legislature will
continue to debate school choice in 2012.
