Title
Establishes the Education Savings Account Program
Description
PFPS Summary: SB 296 would establish an education savings account voucher program. Children would be eligible to join the program if their family's total household income does not exceed two times the income standard used for free or reduced-price lunch or if they are starting school in the state for the first time and have a sibling already in the program. Funds can be used for private school tuition, textbooks, tutoring, and more. ESAs would by funded by the state at an amount equal to the per-pupil amount their local public school would have received from the state. Parents could also make donations to the ESA, which would be deductible from state income taxes.
