South Dakota's Senate advances bill offering up to $6,000 in property tax credits for non-public education.

South Dakota's Senate Bill, proposed by Sen. John Carley, has advanced to the Senate floor. The bill would offer property tax credits to families choosing private school, homeschooling, or alternative education, up to 80% of the state's allocation for public school students, about $6,000. Critics argue it could cost school districts $14 to $21 million annually and harm public education funding.
