A bill introduced in the South Carolina House would provide eligible parents with a state check or tax credit up to 4500 toward private school tuition or other public school options. The measure requires annual testing by private schools and drops scholarship grants, framing the plan as targeted school choice rather than an open voucher program. Supporters cite accountability improvements while critics say it mainly aids middle and higher income families.
