Legislative Alert: The Opportunity Scholarship Act S-1872 (voucher bill) will be considered in committee on January 20. S-1872 is bad policy and must be OPPOSED. It would strip $360 million in tax dollars from public schools already facing deep budget cuts, and give that money to unaccountable private and religious schools, while doing nothing to improve New Jersey public schools in need of assitance and support.
TO DO: Contact Senator James Beach (D-6) 856-429-1572 to oppose S-1872 for the reasons above.
WHEN CONTACTING HIM: Encourage him to stand up for public schools.
