Modifies provisions relating to the Missouri Empowerment Scholarship Accounts Program
Second Read and Referred S Education Committee
Summary
The bill rewrites the Empowerment Scholarship Accounts program so any Missouri resident who is not an illegal alien and can enroll in a public school or receive early‑childhood special education qualifies for a scholarship. It removes the previous mandates that a student have an individualized education plan or that a household meet a low‑income test. The change would let more families use state scholarship funds for private, charter, public or virtual schools.
