HB 2147 -- Opportunity Scholarships for Students in Certain
Schools

Sponsor:  Shields

A student in an academically deficient or unaccredited school
may be reimbursed by the district of residence for tuition and
reasonable transportation costs to any public school in another
district or a charter school.  Students who remain in an
academically deficient or unaccredited school must be reimbursed
by the district for up to $1,000 of supplemental education costs
such as tutoring, educational materials, classes in areas of
special interest, and tuition in dual enrollment college
classes.  The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
will promulgate rules to specify reimbursable costs and other
rules necessary for enforcement of the bill.
