Supporting all children, all the time


Paul supports legislation that would require the state to award offices to non-profit organizations set up by school districts or bid the offices out to individuals or organizations. Then, most of the profit made from these fees can go back to the state and be directed into local public schools.

Paul LeVota, that is, Missouri Representative in Jackson Co., including Lee’s Summit, North Kansas City and Independence. I hope, in light of his stance here, he'll also support HB 1886. This bill would create a scholarship tax credit program. A non-profit organization that grants scholarships to special needs children would accept donation eligible for an 80% tax credit. While revenue is not collected the state will surely save money as scholarships given out through other similar tuition tax credit programs are less than the state pays for IEP students to attend public schools. That saved revenue could easily be directed into public schools.
