Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will reportedly provide details of the Trump administration’s school-choice plan on May 22 at a summit hosted by the American Federation for Children, DeVos’ former organization.
According to a report by Politico, DeVos is expected to release the administration’s plan to create a national tax-credit scholarship program that could provide billions of dollars to low- and middle-income families to pay for greater education options.
In September, then-candidate Donald Trump rolled out a $20 billion block-grant proposal that would have provided states with access to federal funds for creating school-choice programs.
The plan DeVos is expected to outline on May 22 will likely be more similar to the Educational Opportunities Act, legislation proposed by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Sen. Todd Rokita (R-Ind.) in 2013. Under that proposal, which was not approved by the House or the Senate, would have provided individuals with a tax credit amounting to as much as $4,500 for donating money to nonprofit scholarship-granting organizations, which would then provide scholarships to low-income students for use at public or private schools, including religious schools. Corporations could receive a tax credit worth up to $100,000 for their donations.
