New law gives students with disabilities options

“Students with certain disabilities who were enrolled in a public school last year and want another option may be able to transfer to a private school, paid for with state funds. The Georgia Special Needs Scholarships Act was signed into law in May. It allows a child with disabilities - from visual problems to autism - the choice of using state money to enroll in private school this fall. The state Board of Education just approved a list of 109 private schools statewide that will accept the vouchers. In the midstate, those schools are Mount de Sales Academy and Central Fellowship Christian Academy.” (07/30/07)
