What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill changes how a pupil enrolled in a four-year-old kindergarten is

counted by a school district for purposes of state aid and revenue limits. Under

current law, a pupil enrolled in a four-year-old kindergarten program is counted as

0.5 pupil unless the program provides at least 87.5 additional hours of outreach

activities, in which case the pupil is counted as 0.6 pupil. Under the bill, if the

four-year-old kindergarten program requires full-day attendance by pupils for five

days a week, a pupil enrolled in the program is counted as one pupil.
