SB 509

Current law generally limits the total 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 plus a per pupil

increase, if any, as provided by law. However, current law also includes several

adjustments to the general revenue limit. For example, if a school district increases

the services that it provides by adding responsibility for providing a service

transferred to it from another governmental unit, the school district's revenue limit

is increased by the cost of that service.

This bill creates a school district revenue limit adjustment for the costs of

employing school nurses. Under the bill, if a school board adopts a resolution, the

school district's revenue limit is increased by the amount the school district spent

during the second previous school year on salaries and benefits for school nurses.
