We asked families to sound off against #HB1129, and the responses are incredible. Here are a few:

"During a global heath and economic crisis parents surely don't need any additional problems to address. I respectfully ask once again please do not support HB 1129."

It gave us options to source a sound education for our differently abled children so that they will become contributing citizens of society when they are adults. This is an invaluable resource to so many."

"For some of these kids it is the only way they can get an education, especially with disabilities. This would close the private school that I work at and we would loose kids, and I would lose my job!"

"Our specific children are not best served in public school. There are so many North Carolinians in the same boat as we are. Our family & specifically my children thrive and grow in the private school environment."

"Because of this amazing scholarship, our family is able to afford an education that best fits our family. Our children are flourishing in the environment we have been able to choose for them. We couldn’t do it without the scholarship!"

"This program is critically important to families who struggle to find support and educational options for their children. It must continue to be funded!"
