In 2011, North Carolina created its first private
school choice option for families living in the Tar Heel State with the
creation of the Tax Credits for Children with Disabilities. An Individual Tuition Tax Credit of
significant size, this option will allow parents of special needs students to
receive a state income tax credit of up to $6,000 for educational expenses,
including private school tuition.
2011 Results
- Number of School Choice Programs: 1
Tax Credits for Children with Disabilities
An individual tuition tax credit for children with
disabilities created in 2011.
2012 Outlook
North Carolina is looking to create even more
school choice options in 2012 for students with special needs and children from
low-income families. With bipartisan
support, we should expect to see some real educational options in the Tar Heel
State.
