re: Congrats to all Alabama parents of the OT: massive k-12 reform officially happening

We already have this in Louisiana. You get a state tax break if you send your kids to private school. Why not? You are paying state taxes towards the public schools, but your kids are not using them. It makes sense that the state should refund you something, it doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor.

Public schools get something like 9 or 10 grand per student per year in Louisiana. I can’t remember off hand but I think the tax break in LA is something like 6,000.

It’s a tax break for you, not a voucher for the school. People who can’t afford private school are not going to move their kids over in droves for an end of the year tax break.
