Now is the time for people of faith to support real educational choice for Michigan families! Sign and support the Let MI Kids Learn petitions.
“All men and women - and all children - have a right to education. Closely linked to this right to education is the right of parents, of families, to choose according to their convictions the kind of education and the model of school which they wish for their children. Related as well is the no less sacred right of religious freedom.” -- Pope St. John Paul II
Let MI Kids Learn – two proposals to put parents in charge of their children’s education.
The first proposal will create Educational Opportunity Scholarships for up to nearly $10,000 (per child, per school year) for eligible students to pay for tutoring, training, and other educational services.
The second proposal provides tax credits for individuals and businesses who contribute to the scholarship funds.
These scholarships will allow parents to choose the best school for their children – one that will meet their children’s needs and respect their family’s values.
Families with annual income up to nearly $100,000 will be eligible for these scholarships, as well as any family – regardless of income – with foster children or those with special needs.
These proposals already passed both houses of the Legislature in 2021, but Governor Whitmer vetoed them. With these petitions, the legislature can enact these two proposals into law in 2022 without the Governor’s approval.
