What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill permits a school district to increase its revenue limit by an amount equal to the greater of $40,000 or $100 times the number of pupils enrolled in the district for the purpose of making certain school safety expenditures. As a prerequisite to increasing its revenue limit for this purpose, the school board must approve and submit to the state superintendent of public instruction a school safety expenditure plan developed jointly by the school board and a local law enforcement agency. The school safety expenditure plan must be consistent with the school district's school safety plan. The revenue limit adjustment first applies to the calculation of the school district revenue limit in the 2018-19 school year.
Current law generally limits the 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.
