The Opporunity Scholarship Act (OSA), supported by His Grace and all the Bishops of NJ, is moving in the State Legislature. It passed through a very important legislative committee last Thursday, and has captured the interest of many, including the Star-Ledger (see Tom Moran article 1/23/11). The OSA will help low-income children trapped in failing public schools seek an education in other public and nonpublic schools, including Catholic schools. The Star-Ledger is conducting an online poll to gauge public opinion for the OSA. Would you be able to take a few minutes to vote - hopefully in favor of the OSA - a win for children, taxpayers, and Catholic schools as viable partners in doing the public good of educating New Jersey's children. Many thanks for your support. The link is below: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2011/01/poll_do_ you_support_the_opport.html |
