| PA | Signed into law 07/2012 | P-12 | Modifies tax code to provide the means for low- and moderate-income students (185% of poverty) who reside in the attendance boundary of a low-achieving school, to apply for an opportunity scholarship to attend a participating public or private school. Funds may not be used to attend a career and technology center or charter schools (brick-and-mortar or cyber). Schools approved to receive students must charge scholarship students no more than their set tuition rate, and if necessary, must initiate a lottery to determine enrollment.
Businesses that donate to opportunity scholarship organizations are eligible for a tax credit through the program. Defines and establishes parameters for a "scholarship organization." Requires reports from such organizations that include total number of applications received, total and average amounts of scholarships awarded, total number of applications processed and amounts of application fees charged -- either per application or in the aggregate through a third-party processor; and tax status. For 2012-2013, a business tax credit cannot exceed $400,000 annually per firm; for 2013-2014 and thereafter, the tax credit cannot exceed $750,000 annually per business firm. Requires the Department of Revenue to grant a tax credit of up to 90% of the total amount contributed if the business provides a written commitment to provide the scholarship organization with the same amount of contribution for two consecutive tax years. Defines a "pass-through" entity (pg. 91).
Sets eligibility requirements for scholarship applicants, including 185% of the Federal poverty level. Excludes home schooled students and prohibits scholarships for students who have been recruited for athletic purposes. Maximum scholarship awards: $8,500 except for a student with a disability ($15,000). Grant amounts for students who attend or will attend a nonpublic school cannot exceed the amount of the per pupil subsidy of the school district of residence. Allows districts to establish a program of tuition grants to provide for education of students who reside within the district and attend or will attend a public or nonpublic school on a tuition-paying basis. A student receiving a grant to attend a public school is counted in average daily membership for purposes of funding, except when a student attends a public school outside the school district (included in the ADM of the school district the student attends). Requires that transportation be provided and reimbursed. Participating schools are not required to accept a student if it does not offer appropriate programs or is not structured or equipped with the necessary facilities to meet the special needs of the recipient.
Provides the Pennsylvania Supreme Court with exclusive and original jurisdiction to hear any challenge or to render a declaratory judgment concerning constitutionality.
