Arizona House Moves On 4 Bills To Aid Parochial Schools

The Arizona Daily Star reports that on Thursday, the Arizona House of Representatives gave preliminary approval to three bills providing for school vouchers that can be used in private and parochial schools, even though some members questioned the constitutionality of the measures. The House gave final approval to another bill permitting corporations to direct up to $5 million a year of their state income-tax obligations to organizations that provide scholarships for students to attend private and parochial schools.
