Transforming K-12 Education In Illinois




Upstream Ideas show

Summary: Due to the new tax credit scholarship program signed into law, families in Illinois who are not wealthy or politically connected are no longer stuck in a school district that does not serve the educational needs of their children. In honor of National School Choice Week, Dan and Amy are joined by Myles Mendoza of Empower Illinois to explain the tax credit scholarship program and how to donate, who is eligible to receive the scholarships, and the progress the organization has made thus far.
