• "The Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit only helps rich people"

​Priority is given to those below 300% of the federal poverty level. Success from other states show families making $60,000-$80,000 per year are most likely to benefit.

​

• "Idahoans don't support this program"

Surveys actually show strong support across party lines. The 2024 Idaho Poll showed 66% of Idahoans supported a parental choice tax credit.​​

​

• "The Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit is a voucher that goes to private schools"

​The program allocates $0 to private schools. Tax credits are applied to families, not institutions.

​

• "The Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit cuts funding to public schools"

​False. Public school budgets have increased since passage and will continue to increase.

​

• "This program will bust the state budget"

Actually, the program is capped at $50 million, which makes up just .0103% of the state's budget.

​​

• "There is no evidence these programs help students succeed"

​Most credible, major studies have concluded that educational outcomes improve when education choice is permitted - not only for students taking advantage of education choice, but also with those who did not.​​​
