Sections 10-239a to 10-239h , inclusive, shall be known and may be cited as the Demonstration Scholarship Program Authorization Act of 1972. It is the intent of the legislature to enable up to six local or regional boards of education to participate in a demonstration program designed to develop and test the use of education scholarships for school children. The purpose of this demonstration scholarship program is to develop and test education scholarships as a way to improve the quality of education by making schools, both public and private, more responsive to the needs of children and parents, to provide greater parental choice, and to determine the extent to which the quality and delivery of educational services are affected by economic incentives. The demonstration scholarship program authorized by sections 10-239a to 10-239h , inclusive, shall aid students and shall not be used to support or to benefit any particular schools.
