Illinois lawmakers will decide the future of the Invest in Kids Act, a popular, but controversial private school scholarship program.The future of a popular, but controversial private school scholarship program rests in the hands of lawmakers who returned to Springfield for the fall veto session on Tuesday.
Kimberly White and her 15-year-son, Ian White-Holmes, have more on their mind these days than his schooling. They are worried about the future of the Invest in Kids Act. If lawmakers do not extend the program, it could eliminate the financial help that more than 9,600 low-income students are currently getting.
On Tuesday, supporters from St. Sabina Church took a bus to Springfield to lobby lawmakers to continue the program.
