The Short Version
This bill expands the Parent and Education Service Provider Advisory Commission from 7 to 9 members, requires it to review education service provider appeals and make legislative recommendations, and establishes two new surveys—one asking parents why they left public schools and one measuring parent satisfaction with education freedom accounts. The bill creates minimal direct cost but shifts administrative responsibility and data collection without addressing underlying resource questions.
