(AP) — Mississippi senators have agreed to let a small percentage of special education students use public money to go to private schools. Up to 500 special education students could receive a voucher the first year, and the program would increase by 500 a year until it reaches 2,500 students. "Special needs students deserve the opportunity to succeed, and this bill gives parents the power to provide additional resources to help their children obtain the education and support they need," Bryant said in a news release. Bryan argued that legislators should try to improve special education services for all students who need them rather than for a small number who could receive vouchers.

The new regulations—the most sweeping in decades—also cut the length of export licenses from four years to one and give the State Department greater authority to block sales.
