Schools; Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program; eligibility for children with incarcerated parents; effective date.
HB 2928 expands Oklahoma's Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarship program to include students with at least one incarcerated parent, in addition to students with disabilities who have an IEP or ISP. The bill amends eligibility requirements to allow parents or guardians of qualifying students to request scholarships for private school enrollment, provided the student was enrolled in a public school the prior year (with specific exemptions noted). Scholarships cover private school costs but require parental notification to the State Department of Education by December 1 for current-year funding, with continuity until graduation, age 22, or return to public school. The policy change directly affects families seeking private school options for students with disabilities or those with incarcerated parents, without altering existing IEP/ISP requirements for disability-related eligibility.
