Bill > HB1633

This bill establishes the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program, which aims to provide parents and families with more choices for a quality K-12 education. The program will use a system of vouchers and scholarship moneys to ensure a uniform quality education for all of Washington's K-12 students, regardless of their family's income level or location. The program will be administered by the Student Achievement Council, which will be responsible for awarding up to 100,000 scholarships of $10,000 each on a first-come, first-served basis. The scholarships can be used for various educational expenses, such as curriculum, tuition at private schools, textbooks, tutoring, and more. The program is intended to empower parents and families to choose the educational environment that best suits their child's needs and prepare students for post-secondary education, employment, or entrepreneurship.
