Lawmaker floats sponsorship idea for failing kids
Published on Dec 29, 2010 10:48AM
Rep. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman, is floating an idea to help failing students by allowing individuals to pay for those students to go to different schools and then write-off part of that cost on their taxes. To read more about this sponsorship idea and see an online discussion going on about it, go here, to Wimmer's Facebook page. On the post, Wimmer said he's not yet sure whether he'll run the idea as a bill this session.
