FARGO Two Republican-led bills targeting public education advanced and another two bills failed to make the crossover in the North Dakota Legislature last week.

House Bill 1281, a proposal to offer an annual income tax credit of up to $2,000 for families whose children are enrolled in nonpublic schools or in home education, survived with a 50-44 vote in the House of Representatives and is now being considered by the Senate.
