Since 2001, Pennsylvania has provided more than $3.5 billion in funding for private and religious school vouchers through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs. Yet Pennsylvanians know virtually nothing about who has benefited from these programs or how this funding has been spent. In addition, a lack of public audits leaves these funds susceptible to waste and abuse.

On June 14, the Pennsylvania Education Committee passed House Bill 2632, which would create reporting requirements, transparency, and oversight for education tax credit programs, which allocated $575 million for private school vouchers in the 2025-2026 state budget.  

This legislation could move to the full PA House for a vote as early as this week!

Tell your state lawmakers to support House Bill 2632. Pennsylvanians deserve to know what they are getting in return for the hundreds of millions of tax dollars that pay for school vouchers every year.

-Replace the current EITC and OSTC programs in 2027-2028 with a new Education Options Tax Credit program.

- Level fund education tax credits at $680 million per year.

- Continue to fund vouchers for students attending private and religious schools.

- Target resources to students who need them the most.

- Require more transparency about where tax dollars go and who receives them.

- Require audits and reporting to guard against the misuse of tax dollars.
