HB 2043 Virginia Scholarship and Tutorial Assistance Program.
Introduced by: Robert G. Marshall | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Virginia Scholarship and Tutorial Assistance Program. Creates the Virginia Scholarship and Tutorial Assistance Program to provide state-funded scholarships directly to parents of low-income students in the Commonwealth that may be used to (i) pay the costs of tuition of eligible students in kindergarten through grade 8 attending an accredited public school in an adjacent school division or a participating nonsectarian private school in the school division where the student resides or in a school division adjacent thereto, or (ii) purchase tutorial assistance for such students who remain in the public schools, to assist the parents of these students in obtaining a high quality education. The Board must promulgate regulations for the governance and implementation of the Program, and must allocate appropriations for the Program equally so that one-half will be designated for scholarships and one-half will be designated for tutorial assistance grants. The bill also provides certain requirements for participating nonsectarian private schools.
