AFC-OK APPLAUDS HOUSE PASSAGE OF OKLAHOMA PARENTAL CHOICE TAX CREDIT ACT

OKLAHOMA CITY – American Federation for Children – Oklahoma (AFC-OK) Senior Advisor Jennifer Carter today released the following statement praising the Oklahoma House of Representatives for passing House Bill 1935, the Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act. After its 75-25 passage in the House, the bill now moves to the Oklahoma State Senate for consideration.
 
"The hard work that House Speaker Charles McCall, Common Education Chairwoman Rhonda Baker and their leadership team put into this legislative effort shows they have listened and responded to the needs of parents across Oklahoma. Today’s overwhelming passage of House Bill 1935 is a major step toward allowing every child to have access to a high-quality education and puts Oklahoma on the path to become a national leader in education freedom. Because every family in Oklahoma would qualify for a $5,000 per child education tax credit, this bill will put private school within reach for children across the state, including those from working-class backgrounds, and opens the door of opportunity to all.” - Jennifer Carter, Senior Advisor for AFC-OK
