Please join Reaching Higher for a briefing and Q&A on SB 193, a bill to create a statewide education freedom savings account program. The House Education Committee recently voted 10-9 ought-to-pass and the full House will vote on this legislation at the start of the 2018 session in January. Reaching Higher will walk through the version of the bill passed by House Education, discuss potential financial impacts, and then open the session up for questions.
Highlights will include:
- Eligibility – who is eligible for an education freedom savings account? How large is the eligible population across the state? How does it vary across school districts?
- Financial Impact – what are the potential financial implications for local school districts, taxpayers, and the state?
- Special Education – what are the implications for students who receive special education services?
- Accountability (academic and programmatic) – what are the accountability standards for students who use an education freedom savings account? What is the level of public oversight?
