What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill authorizes the Department of Public Instruction to pay unexpended
sparsity aid to a school district that qualified for sparsity aid in the previous school
year but, because of an increase in the school district's membership, does not qualify
in the current school year. Current law permits the department to award up to $300
in sparsity aid per pupil to a school district that has a membership of up to 725 pupils
if the school district's membership divided by the school district's area in square
miles is less than ten. The bill also changes the membership cap of the school district
to 745 pupils beginning in the 2016-17 school year.
