SB 101

Current law generally limits the total amount of revenue per pupil that a school

district may receive from general school aids and property taxes in a school year to

the amount of revenue allowed per pupil in the previous school year. However,

several exceptions to the revenue limit exist under current law. For example, if a

school district increases the services that it provides by adding responsibility for

providing a service transferred to it from another governmental unit, its revenue

limit is increased by the cost of that service.

This bill increases the revenue limit for a school district that develops a school

safety plan with a local law enforcement agency. Under the bill, the amount of the

increase is $100 multiplied by the number of pupils enrolled in the school district or

$40,000, whichever is greater. The school district may use the additional revenue to

purchase school safety equipment, to pay security officers, and for the cost of school

safety measures that are identified in the school district's school safety plan.
