New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is proposing steps to offer more school choice for parents.

Cuomo wants tax credits of up to $500 for low-income families who send their children to private schools.

"It has been proposed before. It failed before because the political forces in Albany that are protecting the bureaucracy don't want to see this happen," Cuomo said.

He also wants the state to offer tax credits for private donations to public schools and scholarships for students from low- and middle-income families who attend either private schools or public schools outside of their local district.

Cuomo said the credit is about giving parents the option of where to send their children by helping keep schools funded.
