What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law directs the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to pay to the

Second Chance Partners for Education, Inc. (SCPE), a nonprofit corporation

operating a program in which children at risk participate in apprenticeships while

earning high school diplomas, $4,610 for each pupil participating in the program.

The amount of state aid that a school district is eligible to be paid is reduced by an

amount equal to the amount paid to SCPE for pupils enrolled in the school district.

Under this bill, DPI must pay SCPE, and any other nonprofit corporation

operating a program in which disengaged high school pupils are enrolled in a

work-based learning program, for each pupil participating in the program, the

amount paid per pupil to independent charter schools. The bill requires one-half of

the payment to be made by October 15th and the other half to be made by February

15th. The reduction in state aid to school districts is unchanged.

The bill takes effect on July 1, 2012.
