For Parents
ZERO Fundraising Problems in ARIZONA – Same IRS Rules
Well, the legislators leading this fiasco showed their agenda AGAIN last week … and it is NOT ABOUT KIDS!!!
What did they do???
They “rewarded” the (not so) Exceptional SC Board with a QUADRUPLED INCREASE in their Administrative Fees …
And worse … they are removing the LEGISLATIVE APPOINTMENT language so the BOARD WILL BE PERMANENT … and legislators will be able to say “there is nothing we can do”?!?!?!
It is getting to a BREAKING POINT … they are getting DESPERATE … and this bill is perfect evidence of that desperation!!!
And if you think that is all bad … this is a FIRST IN THE NATION …
… they want the SC Department of Education to “donate” $12 MILLION to (not so) Exceptional SC. SAY WHAT???
Read it … it is right there in the title of the bill (picture up top) … or read the bill here
Insanity!!! Another square peg in a round hole. ANYTHING except what every other state does …

“Who” is behind it?
Rep. Jason Elliott (R – Greenville)
Rep. Shannon Erickson (R – Beaufort)
It is personal folks … and these legislators care more about their personal vendettas and their “monied” SPECIAL INTEREST supporters … than they do about YOUR KIDS!!!
Well, we are getting reports from parents and school officials that the checks that are going out are approximately 20% of tuition.
Why would (not so) Exceptional SC not tell parents how much specifically they were receiving … or even generally how much … we can only speculate … but we are hearing the amounts are approximately 20%.
The home stretch of the 2020-2021 school year is here … the promised funding is not … there is not even a plan in place on what to expect …. other than the pitiful 20% no communications whatsoever!!! Politics over children … AGAIN?
We offered a solution … to raise the full 2020 $12 million by 12/31 …. and next year’s $12 million in early January 2021. That was $24 MILLION by 1/31/2021!!! Well … they knew better … NOT!
Yet YOU lost $7.5 MILLION in 2019 … $8 MILLION in 2020 … and with the current fundraising pace … YOU will lose even more in 2021.
This is insane … this is ridiculous.
Georgia INDEPENDENT NON-PROFITS as a comparison raised $70 MILLION in just the first 8 days of January. $70 MILLION vs. $2,200!!!
And remember, we gave legislators a PLAN for $24 MILLION to be raised by 1/21/2021 … at no cost to the SC Budget.
It was simple … and FREE … until Rep. Jason Elliott (R – Greenville) KILLED IT!!!
Rep. Elliott is in the bag for Palmetto Promise Institute, Jim DeMint (his former employer) … and the MONIED SPECIAL INTEREST like ClassWallet!!!
Your kids are suffering …. and Rep. Jason Elliott is one of the biggest problems!!!
And worse … he is our personal House Rep. here in Greenville District 22. It is not pretty!!!
