2011 – The report finds that Georgia’s program providing tax credit scholarships to private school students is a failure. The program was created in 2008 with the passage of HB 1133 for the purpose of helping low-income children transfer from poorly performing public schools to private schools. SEF finds that the program has failed to achieve this aim and instead over $70 million has been diverted from Georgia’s state revenues over the last three years with a lack of accountability that has enabled widespread abuse.
