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 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 DPI to make a payment of $75,000,000 to school districts

on the fourth 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.
