What’s in it
The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.18(7) provides that a pupil participating in open enrollment shall be counted, for state school foundation aid purposes, in the pupil’s district of residence. The school district of residence then is required to pay to the receiving district the sum of the state cost per pupil for the previous school year, plus any moneys received for the pupil as the result of non-English speaking weighting, plus either the teacher leadership supplement state cost per pupil for the previous fiscal year or the teacher leadership supplement foundation aid for the previous fiscal year if both the district of residence and the receiving district are receiving such supplements.

By operation of law, the changes in the bill also apply to the amount required to be paid by a resident district to a charter school or innovation zone consortium under Code chapter 256F when the pupil enrolls in such a school outside the pupil’s district of residence. The bill applies to school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2020.
