Tuition Tax Credit

Dear colleagues,

As you may know, His Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan has made passage of the Education Tax Credit (ETC) the Archdiocese’s top legislative priority. The ETC is a bill being considered by lawmakers in Albany that would increase scholarships for nonpublic school children; provide tax credits to tuition-paying families; help teachers with out-of-pocket classroom expenses; and increase funding for programming in public schools.

The ETC is of critical importance to our Catholic school system and can help more children receive the faith-based education that we provide. I am asking for your support in getting this legislation passed into law. Please visit www.nyscatholic.org to connect directly with your elected officials and urge them to pass the Education Tax Credit before the end of the legislative session.  Please do not delay, there are only a few days left!

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Timothy J. McNiff, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools
