2020 MT Senatorial race: on Education


Steve Bullock: No tax credits for religious schools

The U.S. Supreme Court said Montana cannot exclude students at private, religious schools from using scholarship programs funded indirectly by a state income-tax credit. The ruling overturns a 2018 Montana Supreme Court order that terminated the tax credit and said the program violated Montana's constitutional ban on public aid to churches or religion-affiliated organizations. Bullock said he is "disappointed" with the decision and "will continue to fight for public education in Montana."

Wilmot Collins: Child's education should be determined by where they grew up

We need to make big investments in our education system and that includes helping rural areas and states provide a quality education to our students today. It includes helping to raise pay for teachers willing to teach in rural areas, it includes having budgets that are healthy enough so that teachers do not have to buy supplies out of their own pockets, and it includes ensuring that the quality of a child's education is not determined by where they grew up.
