Proposal outlines state funded education cost credits
A committee would estimate the average education cost for state supported schools and deduct tuition paid by students at state institutions, currently $100 yearly, sending the remainder as credits to private schools. The plan would complicate aid for private schools teaching religion and require deductions to respect church state separation.
