What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill appropriates money to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) for the purpose of awarding grants to certain rural school districts. Under the bill, a school district is eligible for a grant if a public school in the school district that operates any grades from kindergarten to six (and no other grades) is located at least five miles from a public high school in the district or in an unincorporated area of the school district and the enrollment of the school district divided by its area in square miles is less than 20. The grant is equal to $50,000 plus an amount equal to the number of pupils enrolled in that K-6 school multiplied by $1,000.
A school district receiving a grant under the bill must use it to ensure that the K-6 school continues to operate, to implement an innovative instructional program in the school, or to transform the school into a magnet school.
