Senate Republicans say there is still time to save the Invest in Kids Act. 

The program expires at the end of the year – the program provides tax credits for donations for scholarships to private schools. Senate Republican Leader John Curran says the act needs to pass again to help low-income students attend private schools.

The Governor has said if lawmakers pass an extension, he’ll sign it. Many Democrats are against the act – feeling it takes away tax dollars from public schools. 

And a hard right faction of Republicans have said they won’t support any changes to the program being offered by some Democrats. Making it difficult for enough votes to be found on both sides of the isle to pass the measure.
