The Kentucky Supreme Court will hear oral arguments this week in a case that will decide whether the state can move forward with a $125 million program sending would-be tax dollars to private K-12 schools.
Lawyers will present their arguments Wednesday for and against the Education Opportunity Account (EOA) program. The EOA program allows individuals and corporations to donate to a scholarship fund in return for a tax credit of up to 97% of their donation. Low- and middle-income families can apply to use the funds for educational expenses. In the state’s eight most populous counties, approved families can use the funds for private school tuition.
