Senate Bill 47 expands the state's Special Needs Scholarship program to students with 504 Plans. The program offers scholarships for students with individualized education plans to attend a private school or a public school of their choice. "COVID-19 has certainly highlighted the challenges that families face and finding the right education for their child, especially those with special needs," Kemp said Thursday during a bill signing ceremony at the state Capitol. "This bill will give more parents greater options to ensure their child has every opportunity to achieve their dreams."
