Georgia Floats Special-Needs Scholarship Bill
Disabled children in Georgia may soon have access to a similar range of educational choices as their Florida neighbors, if a state legislative proposal wins final support.
Senate Bill 10, the Georgia Special Needs Scholarship Act, would allot an average of $9,000 a year to send a child with a physical handicap or learning disability to a public or private school of the parents choice.
On January 31, the measure passed the state Senate on a vote of 31 to 23. At press time it was under consideration in the House of Representatives, where support was considered to be more tenuous.
