“Nevada’s Senate made state history in May when its members unanimously approved a measure that would offer scholarships to special-needs students to attend the public or private school of their parents’ choice. Senate Bill 158 is the first school choice bill to win either Assembly or Senate approval in the Nevada Legislature. According to bill sponsor Sen. Barbara Cegavske (R-Las Vegas), the new program is a much-needed response to the problem of meeting special-needs students’ individual needs.” (for publication 09/01/07)
