Jim Parisi - RI Federation Of Teachers Opposes School Choice & Expansion Of Scholarship Tax Credits - He Fears Losing Public $$$$ As Parents Opt For Successful Private Schools

Jim Parisi is with the RI Federation of Teachers & Healthcare Professionals.

In short, he opposes school choice because of the dollars that might follow the student to a parochial or private school. He wants the public funded school system to keep all the money where he believes it should stay, right with the failing public school system.

In a strange odd twist, he opposes increasing the scholarship tax credit limit of $1.5M to $5M because businesses might make money on the deal. I do wish he’d explain how he came to the conclusion that increasing scholarship aide to students is somehow a corporation money maker.

Not once did he ever mention the benefit of educational opportunities for your children.
