Federal Education Funds Follow the Student to Public, Private, or Home School.
This bill mandates that federal K-12 education funds, including special education grants (IDEA), must follow the eligible child regardless of whether they attend public, private, or home school. Parents of children in non-public settings will receive these funds through Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) to cover costs like tuition, materials, tutoring, and therapies. This change aims to significantly increase educational choice and financial flexibility for families.
Key points
Federal education grants (ESEA and IDEA) are now portable, supporting students in public, private, or home schools equally.
Funds for private and home-schooled students are distributed directly to parents via Education Savings Accounts (ESAs).
ESAs can be used for tuition, curriculum, technology, tutoring, and educational therapies for students with disabilities.
The law explicitly prevents Federal or State government control over non-public education providers.
