Special Needs Scholarship State Law

2011 AB-110 was introduced into the assembly, and referred to the assembly education committee.  Assembly Bill 110 would give vouchers to parents of children with special needs that they could use to attend a private school, which could impact local budgets and special education categorical aid.  The bill is modeled after legislation passed in Florida and Ohio.  A hearing was held on May 3rd .  The text of the bill can be found at http://legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/data/AB-110.pdf    Coverage of the hearing from diverse views can be found by googling WI special needs scholarship hearing.
