Can someone please explain to me in simple English how it will help a parent of a yeshiva student (s) or bais yaakov in New york if the bill passes? How will it work?
Sounds like tuition would be tax deductible.
The state government will indirectly help pay tuition.
Within a short time, they will start telling the schools what to teach, who may teach, and how it will be taught. That’s what happens when you tell the government to give you money. If you ask Andy Cuomo for a donation, it doesn’t comes free of strings.
They will have more money.
akuperma: The return favor of the Jewish community would be to provide the Governor the bloc vote.
His father, as Governor, didn’t attach many strings when funding a Jewish special ed school. And going to bat for it (and winning) when the Supreme Court kept trying to outlaw it.
If you make a donation to a scholarship fund, you get a tax credit. It remains to be determined how what will qualify as a fund. NYS already has the right to determine what has to be taught.
It’s a credit that you deduct off the taxes you owe, as in any other tax credit. This is better than direct funding, since direct funding always comes with strings attached.
