What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates a categorical aid for school boards that enter into a whole grade

sharing agreement and adopt a resolution to consider school district consolidation.

Under the bill, the Department of Public Instruction pays an eligible school board an

amount equal to $150 per pupil enrolled in a grade included in the whole grade

sharing agreement. A school board may not receive this aid for more than five school

years.

Under current law, two or more school boards may enter into a whole grade

sharing agreement, under which all or a substantial portion of the pupils enrolled

in a specified grade in the participating school districts attend the specified grade in

one of the participating school districts.
