Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 The McKay statute is very clear on enrollment in public schools and eligibility. There are basically only 3 requirements: http://www.floridaschoolchoice.org/Information/McKay/faqs.asp 1) An IEP. The IEP has to be a public school IEP, thats how the matrix or McKay Scholarship amount is figured. It ranges from about $3,500 to $20,000 yr and is a little different from County to County. 2) 1 year enrolled in a public school, specifically during the 2 FEFP counts. 3) student accepted at a participating McKay school There have been Bills in the last 4 State Legislative sessions to reduce the time enrolled requirement. This year Rep Llorente and Senator Storms are sponsoring Bills.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I'm pretty sure that one of the pre-requisites for getting a McKay is that the child had to have attended public school for a year. To make sure, you can check on their website.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 For Steve Moyer, An excellent opinion in the Sun Sentinel. Very well put. I am following the McKay Scholarship bill. I am planning to write to these representatives for my personal story, if you believe there is anyone in particular that I should direct correspondence to that would be most helpful.
