Program Would Be Open To Children With Special Needs, Children In Foster Care, And The Children Of Active Duty Military Members
Legislation introduced in the Alabama House of Representatives would establish an Education Savings Account (ESA) Program open to any K–12 student who is the child of an active duty military service member, or in foster care, or has special needs.
With an ESA, state education funds allocated for a child are placed in a parent-controlled savings account. Parents then use a state-provided debit card to access the funds to pay for the resources chosen for their child’s unique educational program. Under the proposed program, ESAs could be used to pay for tuition and fees at private and parochial schools, as well as textbooks and other instructional materials, and tutoring services. The ESAs could also be used to cover the fees required to take national standardized achievement tests, such as the SAT or ACT.
