“A recent letter signed by 30 superintendents of eastern Oklahoma school districts (Phoenix April 24 Opinion Page) was critical of Senate Bill 2093, the New Hope Scholarship Act. The bill would give a tax credit to taxpayers who contribute to organizations that provide private-school scholarships for low-income children currently attending failing public schools in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The superintendents wrongly assert that the bill ‘creates a voucher system that would take public dollars and transfer them through the use of tax credits to private schools.’” (04/29/08)
