SCA 1: Educational expenses: school choice flex accounts and special education flex accounts.

The proposed constitutional amendment aims to provide more educational options for California students. The amendment would allow the state to disburse funds to parents for tuition and education-related expenses associated with attending private schools, regardless of religious affiliation. This would be in addition to the existing public school system. The amendment would also modify the way ad valorem property tax revenues are allocated to local agencies. The amendment would define average daily attendance to include all children enrolled in public schools, as well as those who are eligible to enroll but choose to use school choice or special education flex accounts. The amendment would also provide that its provisions are severable and require the attorney general to defend against any challenges to its validity.
