HB 1140 aims to expand school choice in Washington State through the empowerED scholarship program, addressing the state's failure to provide adequate education, particularly for students in failing schools, low-income areas, and those with disabilities. The bill would establish education savings accounts for eligible students, funded through a combination of state and business contributions, allowing parents to use the funds for tuition, textbooks, tutoring, and homeschooling resources. By giving parents more control over their child’s education, HB 1140 seeks to empower families to choose the best educational path regardless of income level or geographic location, ultimately improving educational opportunities beyond tradiedetional public schools.
