This plan called the Child Learning Investment Tax Credit, could give families up to $8,000 per student to reduce their taxes. It’s going to be voted on by the Senate Finance Committee soon. This plan is different from a previous idea for $100 million in school vouchers, which some lawmakers didn’t like because they thought it took money away from public schools.
