Amend CSHB 318 by inserting the following after line 20, page
4:
      (h)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, once a
student eligible for a public education grant under this subchapter
is rejected for enrollment by a public school, that student may
attend a private school selected by the student's parent or
guardian.  The private school the student attends shall report the
student's attendance to the district in which the student resides
and shall receive compensation for services rendered in accordance
with reasonable financial rules adopted by the Commissioner.  The
private school may not charge the student, or the student's parent
or guardian tuition above the amount of the public education grant.
The school district in which the student resides is entitled to the
excess of the public education grant over tuition charged by the
private school.
