What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill changes the manner in which state aid is paid to school districts.
Under current law, the Department of Public Instruction (department) pays
state aid to school districts for each school year in the following four installments:
15 percent in September, 25 percent in December, 25 percent in March, and 35
percent in June. Current law also requires the department to make a payment of
$75,000,000 to school districts on the 4th Monday in July of the following school year
and to proportionately reduce the percentages described above for the current school
year to reflect this lump sum payment.
This bill changes the percentage of state aid paid in each installment to 25
percent.
