Call To Action

For the past 13 years private schools in Louisiana have had a state sales
tax exemption when purchasing textbooks, computers, and audio visual
materials. This exemption expires on June 30, 2009; unless the Legislature
renews it. That is a very real danger in this current budget environment.

Without either a permanent tax exemption of the renewal of the current on
our schools would have to start paying $1 Million in new taxes. They simply
cannot afford to do this without impacting your tuition.

The public schools have a permanent tax exemption on these same educational
materials. The private schools also deserve a permanent tax exemption for
them.

Please contact the members of the House Ways & Means Committee and ask them
to support Rep. Hunter Greene's HB 389, which would provide a PERMANENT tax
exemption on these materials.
