Bill > SB11

This bill, titled the Parent Educational Freedom Act, would make several changes to Ohio's educational choice scholarship program. Key provisions include: - Expanding eligibility for Educational Choice scholarships by eliminating the requirement for students to be enrolled in a public school building ranked in the lowest 20% for performance. Instead, the bill would make scholarships available to any student entering grades K-12, as well as students from low-income families or with siblings already receiving scholarships. - Ceasing the Pilot Project Scholarship Program, which provides scholarships and tutoring to students in certain school districts, and transitioning those students to the Educational Choice program starting in the 2023-2024 school year. - Increasing the state income tax credit for homeschooling expenses from $250 to $2,000 per qualifying student. Overall, the bill aims to provide more educational options and funding support for Ohio families, particularly those with lower incomes, by expanding access to private school scholarships and increasing tax benefits for homeschooling.
