## Summary

**Funds to follow the student** would redirect federal K–12 and special education dollars so funding follows eligible children to the public school, private school, or home setting they attend. It would create Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) and a per‑child allocation model under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). - Families and students: Families choosing private or home school would receive Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) to pay for tuition, curriculum, tutoring, technology, testing, extracurriculars, and for students with disabilities, educational therapies. - Local school districts and public schools: Local educational agencies (LEAs) would get per‑child funds and distribute them to schools based on eligible student counts, and the federal rules require those funds to supplement, not supplant, non‑federal money. States must collect annual parent notifications of each child's school or homeschool and use that data only to calculate and distribute funds. - Students with disabilities: IDEA would mirror ESEA rules so children eligible for special education get per‑child allocations and ESA access for related services and therapies.
