There's a new, national tax credit school choice program. It's complicated. "An obvious concern is that SGOs’ marketing efforts will amount to time and resources that detract from the main purpose of the scholarship program and drive up overhead costs." https://t.co/J2bAHshBm7
Chris Bultman was just appointed to fill an open IPS board seat. He's also running to fill the seat for a full term this November. But he's no longer unopposed in his race. https://t.co/Ryn19RCkqO
