What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Chesapeake School Board voted 7-2 against a resolution that would have urged Governor Abigail Spanberger to opt Virginia out of a federal scholarship tax credit program. This program allows individuals and businesses to receive federal tax credits for donating to certified scholarship-granting organizations, and it is set to take effect in 2027. The tax credit offers up to $3,400 for married couples and $1,700 for single filers.
