Hello Families and Schools, Recently, STAY attended a meeting to discuss the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA). What is the ECCA? The ECCA is a federal bill that would expand school choice across America, providing K-12 scholarships for up to two million students. Ten billion dollars in Federal Tax Credits would be available for individuals and businesses that contribute to a school tuition organization within their state. In Arizona, this would be in addition to our state tax credit for private schools. ECCA funds could be used to pay for tuition, tutoring, special need services, homeschooling curriculum materials, and other eligible services. How would the bill impact you? The ECCA would provide Arizona families with additional scholarship opportunities so they can choose the education that best fits their child's needs. Right now, Congress is negotiating budget reconciliation which represents a crucial moment in history to advocate for policies that can improve our educational system. We have an unprecedented opportunity to include the ECCA in the budget reconciliation process, and your voice is needed to make this happen. Please read the Call to Action from our friends at American Federation for Children, then call or email Arizona Rep. David Schweikert today.
