Education Scholarship Account Program; make certain changes to.

SB 2599 modifies Mississippi's Education Scholarship Account (ESA) program by requiring parents or guardians to request reimbursement for qualifying education expenses (like tuition, textbooks, or therapies) after a student returns to their home public school district. Any remaining ESA funds after reimbursements must go to the student's home school district, and unused funds from closed accounts after June 30 go to the state general fund. The bill standardizes ESA funding to match the state's base per-pupil amount, mandates schools to inform families about alternative scholarship programs first, and requires participating students to take standardized assessments at the start and end of the school year. It also adds reporting requirements for special education services provided through ESAs.
