The Pennsylvania State legislature has created the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit Program, which will use private money to fund scholarships for low and moderate-income students in failing schools. Senator Judy Schwank says that she hopes that the pilot program will make a difference for at least some students in poor performing schools in Pennsylvania. A total of $50 million dollars is available for this upcoming school year. The money comes from Pennsylvania businesses that donate the money to scholarship programs in exchange for tax credits.
