Definition

  • During the latter half of the 20th century, legislators in a number of states began to propose statutes designed to provide public relief, via adjustments to state tax codes, to those constituencies choosing private, religious, K–12 schools for their children's education in place of public schools. These initiatives, in effect, were intended to divert some public funds to those parents. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; Tax Credits]
