School Choice Scholarship
School Choice Pilot Program for Certain Students with Exceptionalities
On June 24, 2010, Governor Bobby Jindal signed into law House Bill 216 which created this pilot voucher program for students with special needs.
Students are eligible to receive an educational certificate (or voucher) toward educational expenses if they are on an IEP or similar plan, reside in an eligible parish, are eligible to attend public school, are entering kindergarten through eighth grade, and are not considered gifted and talented. The educational certificate is worth 50 percent of the state portion for the parish in which the student resides, that would have spent for the student in a public school, or the cost of private school tuition, whichever is less.
Participating schools must have served special education students for at least two years and be approved by the State Board of Education for one school year prior to serving students in the program. Participating schools are not required to accept every eligible student who applies, but the schools may not administer an entrance exam to students prior to admission.
