provide tuition for a student who is placed in a residential treatment center that provides educational programming.

HB 1004 would allow students placed in residential treatment centers that offer educational programming to receive tuition assistance. This bill directly affects students requiring residential care and the facilities providing both treatment and education. The key provision would enable these students to access public education funding while receiving necessary mental health or behavioral support in a residential setting. The legislation aims to ensure continuity of education for students who cannot attend traditional schools due to their placement in treatment facilities.
