This proposed constitutional amendment would allow California to provide state funding directly to parents for their children’s education at private schools, including religious schools, through School Choice Flex Accounts or Special Education Flex Accounts. It would let these students count in the state’s calculation of average daily attendance for funding purposes, even though they are not attending public schools. The amendment would also allow the Legislature to allocate property tax revenues to support these accounts. The measure is designed to be severable , meaning if any part is struck down in court, the rest can still take effect, and the Attorney General would defend the law against legal challenges.
