Tax credit scholarships are not a viable option for Montana. When these programs have been implemented in other states, they have failed to improve access to high-quality education or save the state money. Instead, tax credit scholarships divert funding away from public schools, jeopardizing the state’s ability to encourage further improvements and innovation within the public school system.
