North Carolina parents urge lawmakers to expand private school scholarship programs

by Nyamekye Daniel, The Center Square | April 29, 2021 02:00 PM Print this article A group of North Carolina parents took to the state Capitol on Wednesday to urge lawmakers to expand the state s private school scholarship program. Melanie Osborne, a single mother of five, said North Carolina s Opportunity Scholarship Program transformed her children s lives. Osborne noticed in 2000 her eldest daughter was not being pushed academically in her public school. I felt she was underserved, and I felt that she wasn t going to get what she needed, Osborne said. Her eldest daughter, Laura, said she finished her assignments ahead of everyone else in her a seventh-grade class and often would feel bored.

Opportunity Scholarships: Dem cites pricey Raleigh school but neglects complexities - Carolina Journal

A Wake County Democrat spoke out against expanding Opportunity Scholarships and pointed to one private school as a reason. “State dollars should go to public schools,” said Rep. Abe Jones, D-Wake. “Private schools will get their money, believe me. They’ll get it from churches, from big donors. We’ve got some private schools in this county. Ravenscroft: Great school. My kids didn’t go there. I went up there and they quoted me tuition $32,000 to send my kid to Ravenscroft. Both my kids went to Leesville Road High School and middle school. They got great educations.” School-choice advocates point out that private schools with a hefty price tag like the north Raleigh-based Ravenscroft aren’t the norm for private schools across the state.

Publications - Research & Commentary: Tax-Credit Scholarship Expansion Much Needed for Keystone State Children

April 23, 2021 Program Could Possibly Grow By 25 Percent Every Fiscal Year Legislation in the Pennsylvania Senate would expand the commonwealth’s Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit Program, a tax-credit scholarship program for low-income students. The program’s budget would increase to $185 million in fiscal year 2020–21 and would allow the program to increase by 25 percent in every fiscal year where at least 90 percent of the total credits were distributed to commonwealth families. Research also shows students at private schools are less likely than their public school peers to experience problems such as alcohol abuse, bullying, drug use, fighting, gang activity, racial tension, theft, vandalism, and weapon-based threats. There is also a strong causal link suggesting private school choice programs improve the mental health of participating students.
