NC Opportunity Scholarships

North Carolina lawmakers are expected to vote this week on a veto override of a bill that would commit nearly $6.5 billion in state funding for private school vouchers over the next decade. The Opportunity Scholarships have evolved over the past decade from a small $10 million pilot program, to a major budget expense that could transform education in the state.

Senate Bill 406 would remove the existing income caps for private school vouchers, and create a sliding scale for all North Carolina families. 

Private school enrollment in North Carolina is trending upward.

The North Carolina Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Feb.
