Change provisions relating to applications rejected under the enrollment option program and create the Nebraska Option Enrollment Tuition Account Program
LB 633 creates the Nebraska Option Enrollment Tuition Account Program for families whose children's applications for the enrollment option program are rejected by school districts. It requires school districts to provide written reasons for rejections - including specific disability-related service gaps - and establishes a process for parents to decline appeals and request tuition funds. The program provides eligible families with funds equal to the adjusted average per-pupil cost (plus disability-specific supplements for students with qualifying disabilities) to cover private school expenses at accredited institutions. Parents must agree to not enroll the child in public school and use funds only for approved education costs, with access to funds lost if the child reenrolls in public school or fails to comply with program rules. The bill also mandates annual reporting by school districts on rejected applications to the State Board of Education.
