(AP) — Nevada senators have approved a bill that would allow students to use the state funds designated for their public education at a private school. Students could use the state money deposited in the education savings account for tuition, textbooks and tutoring. Republican Sen. Ben Kieckhefer said that lawmakers in both parties were strong supporters of education, and that the bill was designed to give parents a way out of sending their children to failing schools and to break cycles of "generational poverty."
