Introduced by Rep. Matt Milosch (R) on May 7, 2003, to require school districts to participate in the schools of choice program to the extent they have space available. The schools of choice program allows schools to accept students who choose to transfer from nearby districts. State funding in the form of the per-pupil foundation grant follows the transferring student to the new school. Under current law, a public school may choose not to accept students from another district even if it has space.
- Referred to the House Education Committee on May 7, 2003.

iT IS LAUDABLE TO TAKE THE MULE OF THE M.E.A. to water and force it to drink. but it is time to gut the mule. The authority and the money for education should be in the hands of parents to choose the school of their choice with their tax money following the student. Log on to thepowertochoose.org and machinac.org for more info. We have got to get REAL CHOICE FOR REAL CHANGE!!!!!

2) loss of local control by Anonymous Citizen on May 12, 2003
This bill will further the loss of local school board control. Why are Republicans mandating more controls when they campaign on local control?
