The Education Savings Account bill that would benefit thousands of children with special needs passed both the House Finance Committee and the full Senate earlier this week.
"This is a great development for all Tennesseans. It gives children with special needs across the state the tailored academic experience they deserve; one that meets their unique needs," said the Beacon Center of Tennessee CEO Justin Owen. "Every child deserves a quality education, and today's votes in favor of Education Savings Accounts for children shows that our legislature realizes that."
The bill passed the full house on Wednesday and will now go back to the Senate for approval before going to the Governor.
