This morning we were able to meet Mr. Evan Cobb, of Greenville. Evan is the first recipient of a scholarship created in last year’s budget. Evan attends Hidden Treasures Christian School. His $5,000 scholarship was granted by Advance Carolina.<\/p>\n

For the first time in our state\u2019s history, some South Carolina students will have school choice. I sponsored and amendment allowing for South Carolina taxpayers to receive a tax credit matching a contribution to a Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO\u2019s). These SGO\u2019s will offer scholarships to special needs children for up to $10,000 per year. The credit is capped at 60% of their tax liability. The tax credits are capped at $8 million.<\/p>\n

All would agree that special needs children\u2019s education must be individualized and this is very expensive. I would like to extend tax credits for school choice to all children in South Carolina. I am confident that when we hear the success stories from children and their parents, we will get the momentum to expand school choice in South Carolina<\/p>\n

This is a historical day in South Carolina!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
