Ohio autism scholarship program - permanent!

[Guest guest]

Way to go Ohio!

Gov. Taft signed HB 699 yesterday, which contains language to move the

current autism scholarship program into permanent law in the Ohio

Revised Code under chapter 3310.41.

This is great news, as there will no longer be a need to have the

program reauthorized every two years!

The language still retains the $20k cap and will be the same program as

the current one. The only difference will be noticed by the resident

school districts, because there is a change in the way preschoolers

using the scholarship are counted in the state ADM for funding.
