North Carolina H815 revises eligibility for Opportunity Scholarships and increases accountability for nonpublic schools.

The North Carolina Voucher School Accountability Act revises eligibility for the Opportunity Scholarship Program, which provides scholarships for students to attend nonpublic schools. Eligible students must be full-time public school students or enrolled in Department of Defense schools. Scholarships are based on household income, with higher amounts for lower-income families. Nonpublic schools must meet various standards, including administering standardized tests, maintaining certain financial reserves, and reporting expulsions and standardized test results.
