I
received notification of this annoucement from a Maryland reader who, until she found the link, she was unaware that this legislation existed. The first annoucement is from a Maryland school and the second from from the Orthodox Union. I found the website for the BOAST MD Tax Credit issue for interested readers here. I don't have time to read through the entire website before putting up this post or the post will be irrelevant, but it looks like scholarship funds would have to go through an separate 501(c)(3) and that 501(c)(3) will need to provide scholarships for students attending at least 4 different schools, amongst other requirements. Perhaps the passage would create some consolidation? If anyone has time to read through the BOAST MD website and leave comments, it would be much appreciated. I have a lot to do in the next few hours.
Dear Friends,
Please read the following Action Alert from the OU, who has been very involved in the BOAST MD Tax Credit issue. This is a tremendous opportunity to offset the rising cost of Jewish day school tuition that may not come our way again. This can directly impact YOUR tuition in the future, and action is required immediately. Please forward to others as well. The money you save will be your own.
In addition to this link (

http://www.congress.org/ and put your zip code in the “Get Involved” search bar in the top center of the page. Certainly contact Senators from your district, and others depending on your time availability.
