Supporters of the new federal school choice tax credit are pressuring Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to opt in to the program. A spokesperson for Shapiro stated that his office is awaiting federal guidance to address key questions about the tax credit scholarship program. The program would allow tax credits for donations to scholarship organizations aiding school choice.
