Pennsylvania HB1258 establishes the Student Freedom Account Program, providing grants for personalized education programs and student freedom.

HB1258 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to create the Student Freedom Account Program. This program provides grants to parents for personalized education programs, allowing students to withdraw from public schools. A student freedom account, controlled by the parent, can be used for qualified education expenses. Participating entities must meet specific criteria and undergo evaluations. The program includes provisions for accountability, taxability, and the handling of funds if the student returns to public school or graduates.
