Draft Text

Amends Tennessee education freedom scholarships to restrict eligibility to private school enrollment.

This bill amends Tennessee education freedom scholarships to restrict eligibility to students enrolled in private schools. It modifies scholarship amounts, eligibility criteria, and reporting requirements to focus on private school enrollment. The scholarship amount for private school students is set to the base funding amount, while out-of-district public school students receive an amount equal to tuition and fees. The bill also mandates annual testing for scholarship recipients in private and out-of-district public schools and requires schools to report test results to the state.
