HB141 appropriates $389,327 from the Education Trust Fund to Southern Preparatory Academy (formerly Lyman Ward Military Academy) for the FY2023 educational program, with required plans and reports before funds are released.

What This Bill Does

If passed, the state would give Southern Preparatory Academy $389,327 for its educational program for the 2023 fiscal year.
