House Education panel approves school choice bill
School choice is one step closer to becoming a reality in Indiana. Following hours of testimony, the Indiana House Education Committee approved the school choice bill on Feb. 15. Under the proposal, qualifying families would be eligible for a scholarship to use at the private school of their choice. The private school of choice may, in many cases, be a Catholic school. The Church supports the bill. (Page 3A)
