No, as in it's not clear (at least to me) what they can opt in to as "other education expenses".

It seems like the law uses 26 U.S. Code § 530(b)(3)(A) for the definitions of "qualified elementary and secondary education expenses." uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?h...

So it seems /possible/ that a gov could do something like choose to elect "scholarship granting organizations" that provide scholarships for transportation to public schools.

Yeah that's the kind of thing I'm imagining BUT I figure there's some other things that could happen on the regulations and rulemaking side, particularly in a totally hypothetical extremist or lawless administration.

Oh for sure! Gaming out any non-private-school-tuition use of these funds is difficult when an admin might illegally impound federal funding for schools.

Going back to Petrilli's notes: There still might be way for a gov to use this law to drive a wedge in Trump's coalition. For instance, working with orgs to provide scholarships for students with IEPs in public schools /might/ support enough students to make it harmful for Trump to block funding.

And, as you highlight, all my speculation is before additional regulation and rulemaking from the legislation...
