HARRISBURG – Your help is needed to prevent legislation from advancing that could have a devastating effect on Catholic education across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Please ask your PA State Representative and Senator to oppose House Bill 2632, a measure put forth in the State House, which would have drastic consequences for the 19 Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Scranton and beyond.
HB 2632 seeks to end the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program and attempts to recreate it in a way that harms students by establishing a series of bureaucratic administrative procedures while cutting $102 million in funding.
Needy students would see their education interrupted with the closing of several Catholic schools. Only the wealthy would have opportunities to select the best educational choice for their child.
Pennsylvania families in every county have been leveraging scholarships averaging under $3,000 per student with private money to receive an education in an environment that is best suited to the needs of their children.
Please remember these children as you consider HB 2632.
Thank you in advance for opposing HB 2632 that seeks to rob our children of their ability to succeed in an educational environment that is best for them.
