How does the parent and private school receive state aid payments?
The state issues checks payable to the parent or guardian of a Choice student and sends the checks to the school where the child is enrolled in the Choice program, based on two count dates during the school year. The first two checks (in September and November) are sent to the school where the child is enrolled on the 3rd Friday in September. The second two checks (in February and May) are sent to the school where the child is enrolled on the 2nd Friday in January. The parent or guardian must sign the checks over to the school. The parent or guardian cannot cash the checks.
