Just nine legislative days left in the 2021 session … or better said … only 9 days left in the 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR for any hope for scholarships.
What is this … the 5th year in a row of EMPTY PROMISES from legislators … and the 5th year in the row we keep believing legislators???
Until WE … specifically SCHOOL LEADERS & their BOARD MEMBERS … step up and UNIFY in an open demand for INDEPENDENT NON-PROFITS (just like every other program in the nation) … this will not get better.
AND NO … Education Scholarship Accounts (ESAs) are not going anywhere. Democrats have already pledged all out war against ESAs here in SC … and what has occurred this year on the bill … ZERO???
FINAL CHANCE FOR 2021: There is STILL A CHANCE that H 3899 (passed the House, sitting in the Senate) “could” be FIXED … could be amended to include INDEPENDENT NON-PROFITS … and could be sent back to the SC House for final approval … but unless SCHOOL LEADERS ACT NOW … it won’t happen.
The Bully Pulpit: Not our first option … not in our top 100 options … but we have tried everything under the sun … and the only think left is the BULLY PULPIT!!!
We will try again next year … go to all out political war again to EXPOSE the corruption … but with only 9 legislative days left … if no one calls us telling us they are DONE with the LIES from legislators and ready to STAND UP & STAND WITH US IN UNITY … nothing will happen..
It has been an interesting study in human behavior. Everybody knows / tells us we are right, but very few “leaders” do anything. Sad …
