The Federal Scholarship Tax Credit: Understanding the Changes, Preparing for the Conversation

What School Communicators Need to Know (Part 1) 

The federal scholarship tax credit is creating new questions and considerations for public school districts, education foundations, and the communities they serve. What should school communicators understand about the program, and how can they help their district leaders prepare? We'll hear how the program works, how implementation may vary by state, and what it could mean for public schools, including potential implications for enrollment, funding, and community expectations. We'll also examine opportunities for public school districts and their education foundations, considerations for participation, and resources available to help district leaders evaluate their options. This webinar is the first in a three-part series designed to help school communicators understand the federal scholarship tax credit, anticipate community questions, advise district leadership, and develop thoughtful communication strategies as implementation approaches.

Presenter: Julie Feasel, Director of Communications & Government Relations | Consortium of State School Boards Associations (COSSBA)
