School choice and credits battle reopens in South Carolina

The 80 percent tuition tax credit bill would target families under 75 000 and include home schooling, with credits capped per grade level and a five year rollout costing an estimated 234.4 million dollars. Critics label it a backdoor voucher while school boards and parents brace for debate in the House.
