A skeptical Payson school board listened to a heartfelt plea to restore district support for international travel by students by allowing donors to claim Credit for Kids tax credits.
Teachers Ginger Liddell and Marsha Fitzhugh implored the school board to help kids raise money for school-sponsored overseas trips by making donations eligible for the stateâs Credit for Kids (CFK) tax credit.
âSo many of our students have never been to another country, itâs an opportunity they wonât have any other way,â said Liddell. âIt is life changing.â
The board listened to a half-hour pitch for foreign travel, but wonât vote on the proposal until its next meeting.
