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.
