SB84

The amendment increases the income eligibility threshold for the Partners in Education scholarship from 150 percent to 200 percent of the free/reduced-price lunch standard for initial eligibility, and raises the threshold for continued eligibility from 200 percent to 250 percent, substantially broadening access to the scholarship for lower-income families.

The amendment increased the income eligibility threshold for scholarship recipients from one hundred fifty percent to two hundred percent of the free or reduced-price lunch income standard, while removing the cap that limited average scholarship values to eighty-two and five-tenths percent of the state's per student equivalent—effectively BROADENING eligibility and potentially increasing scholarship amounts available to families.
