For more than 50 years, state lawmakers have been required to reimburse Catholic and other nonpublic schools for the full cost of complying with administrative mandates such as collecting and reporting student data on attendance, tests, and immunization records. The state, however, owes more than $30 million in overdue reimbursement to our schools, including more than $11 million for complying with the state’s student immunization program (SSIP). As lawmakers negotiate a state budget, please add your voice to help secure these needed funds for our Catholic schools!
