What it does

For purposes of calculating each school district’s preschool foundation aid under Code chapter 256C, “preschool budget enrollment” is defined to mean the figure that is equal to percent of the actual enrollment of eligible students in the preschool programming provided by a school district approved to participate in the preschool program on October of the base year, or the first Monday in October if October falls on a Saturday or Sunday. This bill provides that for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, only, “preschool budget enrollment” for each school district means the greater of the amount equal to the preschool budget enrollment for the budget year beginning July 1, 2020, or the figure that is equal to percent of the actual enrollment of eligible students in the preschool programming provided by a school district approved to participate in the preschool program on October of the base year.
