Lexie’s Law

In March 2009, the Arizona Supreme Court struck down two scholarship programs that were allowing children with special needs to attend the schools of their parents’ choosing. In the opinion, the Court invited the Legislature to find a constitutional way to help these vulnerable students continue receiving the education that best met their needs. “Lexie’s Law” created a new corporate tax credit program to assist these children and their parents. Lexie’s Law is separate from other School Tuition Organization (STO) scholarships in that it is strictly funded through corporate tax credits for the benefit of displaced and disabled students.
