Dear Friends,

Kentucky will once again celebrate National School Choice Week with two events. We will hold a press conference in Frankfort and a Western Kentucky rally in Owensboro.

This message is for anyone interested in attending the Western Kentucky Rally on January 31 at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum. If your school would like to attend, please RSVP to avandiver@ccky.org as soon as possible.

All Christian School leaders are invited to attend one of these meetings which we will be having across the state this month. Please register by contact Patti Shearer at Patti_Sharer@acsi.org.

Treasury Dept. Amends Proposed Rule Affecting Scholarship Donations

Almost ten months after issuing proposed regulations that drew the concern of school choice advocates, the US Treasury Department has issued a final rule on the tax treatment of payments made under state and local tax credit programs.
  
Read more about this issue in the June edition of CAPE Outlook.

Christian school administrators can request Title II, Part A funds. Local educational agencies  (LEA) are fiscally responsible agents that ensure the disbursement of these funds are in accordance with federal guidelines.

For an overview of the request process and the guidelines required please follow the attached funding guide.

"During the next few weeks, our General Assembly has a remarkable opportunity to give thousands of Kentucky children a new path to success by voting in favor of two bills that will help create a scholarship tax credit program. House Bill 205 and Senate Bill 118 will go a long way towards helping children in the Commonwealth reach their dreams."

"Families like the Hendersons in South Louisville know all too well the power this scholarship tax program would have in transforming the futures of Kentucky’s children."
