Why This Is Important

 

Please help our children in failing urban school districts now! By signing this petition I am calling on New Jersey legislators to support the Opportunity Scholarship Act and help rescue children from the worst of our failing urban schools. Please lend your support to this worthy and historic bill!

The Opportunity Scholarship Act (OSA) is a pilot corporate tax credit scholarship bill that will fund scholarships for low-income students attending the state’s lowest performing, chronically failing public schools. The scholarships would enable students to attend out-of-district public schools, or non-public schools anywhere in the state, that choose to participate in the program.

Please sign this petition today!

 

Contact Your Legislator. Tell them to support the Opportunity Scholarship Act.
