A veto override for school choice, parental rights, and accountability
This week, the North Carolina House voted to override Gov. Josh Stein’s veto of House Bill 87, the Educational Choice for Children Act, a bill that would allow North Carolina to participate in the new federal scholarship tax-credit program. The program allows taxpayers to receive a dollar-for-dollar, nonrefundable federal tax credit of up to $1,700 for donations to approved scholarship-granting organizations. As of April 15, 2026, 27 states have decided to opt-in, including both red and blue states.
