ESAs; children with disabilities; evaluations

SB 1639 expands Arizona's Education Savings Account (ESA) program to cover disability-related services for eligible students. It specifically allows ESA funds to pay for educational and psychological evaluations, licensed therapies, paraprofessionals, vocational training, and assistive technology for students meeting disability criteria under §15-2401. The bill also requires annual education plans conducted by independent evaluation teams to determine continued ESA eligibility through age 22, with reports due by July 31 each year. This directly affects Arizona students with disabilities using ESAs, enabling broader support for their educational needs beyond traditional school settings.
