Permit students to concurrently receive certain scholarships

SB 311 allows students who qualify for certain special needs scholarships to also receive an Educational Choice or Pilot Project scholarship in the same school year, provided the total funding does not exceed the cost of their tuition and fees. The bill also clarifies eligibility rules for students who are no longer receiving special education services, permitting them to transition to general educational choice scholarships while maintaining their status as eligible students. Additionally, the legislation defines specific terms such as "eligible applicant" and "qualified special education child" to ensure clarity for parents, guardians, and school districts administering these programs.
