We support Parental Choice Tax Credits in Oklahoma that will make Catholic school more affordable and more accessible for working-class families.

Parental Choice Tax Credits will also aid in the creation of new Catholic schools to meet parent demand and support the Church by increasing the impact of its charitable funds.

Join the cause to support The Parental Choice Tax Credit Act:

 The Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit Act allows every parent to access a refundable tax credit to support private school tuition or to cover the cost of homeschooling expenses. 

This $5,000-$7500 Tax Credit for Private School Tuition Helps Children Who:

• Have special needs and can thrive in specialized learning environments 
• Want to go to a faith-based school 
• Are being bullied in a public school classroom 
• Are stuck in a failing school 

The $1000-$2,500 Tax Credit for Homeschoolers May Be Used For:

• Curriculum 
• Online courses 
• Concurrent enrollment in Oklahoma college courses 

Because HB 1935 is a tax credit, there are no strings attached that impede parental freedom/control of their children’s education. 

Why School Choice Matters:

Research shows students with access to school choice programs are:

– More likely to enroll in and graduate from college
– More likely to have higher standardized test scores
– Less likely to be incarcerated
– Less likely to have mental illness or attempt suicide
