Potential Federal Credit Program – Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA)
ASTOA: Arizona School Tuition Organization Association
Hello Families and Schools,
Arizona Tuition Organization (AZTO) is a long-time member of the Arizona School Tuition Organization Association (ASTOA). ASTOA’s purpose is to promote and defend Arizona’s tax credit programs as well as the right of all parents to choose the best educational environment for their children.
ASTOA has issued the following information about the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA):
Recently, ASTOA’s members were part of a Zoom meeting to discuss the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA). This federal bill would expand school choice across America, providing K-12 scholarships for up to two million students. Ten billion dollars in Federal Tax Credits would be available for individuals and businesses that contribute to a school tuition organization within their state. In Arizona, this would be in addition to our state tax credit for private schools.
We are reaching out to you today with an important Call to Action regarding the future of education in our country and significant benefits to the children of Arizona. The education of our children is paramount and it is critical that every child has access to the best educational opportunities available.
The ECCA would provide Arizona families with additional scholarship opportunities so they can choose the education that best fits their child’s needs. Passing a strong ECCA will strengthen Arizona’s school choice programs, empower parents in all 50 states, and ensure that families have access to the broadest array of educational options for their children.
Right now, Congress is negotiating budget reconciliation which represents a crucial moment in history to advocate for policies that can improve our educational system. We have an unprecedented opportunity to include the ECCA in the budget reconciliation process, and your voice is needed to make this happen.
Please read the Call to Action from our friends at American Federation for Children, then call or email Arizona Rep. David Schweikert today.
