This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to reimburse school
districts, operators of independent charter schools, and private schools participating
in parental choice programs for providing a driver education course to pupils who are
least 16 years old and have at least a 2.3 grade point average. For purposes of
reimbursing a private school participating in a parental choice program, the bill
requires DPI to reimburse the private school only for those pupils who meet the
criteria and are attending the private school under the parental choice program.
