PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS -- Amends existing law to provide for certain distribution of funds to public charter schools.

PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

This bill restores public charter school facility funds, which were inadvertently reduced by the passage of H. 292 in 2023. It sets minimum funding at $400 per student. From FY 2021 to FY 2023, the per-student amount fluctuated between $389 and $422 per student. This is not intended to increase funding; it simply puts the schools in approximately the same positions they were in before. Additionally, it specifies that future virtual charter schools and school districts that authorize virtual charter schools are not eligible for these funds. It also provides that, if H. 521 passes, a school district that authorizes a virtual charter school and receives funding from the school modernization facilities fund, may not also receive these funds.
