What’s in it
AI summary Iowa school districts receive money for preschool programs based on how many students they enroll. This bill changes how that enrollment is calculated by looking at how many hours of instruction each program provides per week. Depending on the number of hours taught, the percentage used to determine a district's funding will change.1
Read the official explanation
Under Code chapter 256C, preschool foundation aid is calculated by multiplying the school district’s preschool budget enrollment by the regular program state cost per pupil for the budget year. “Preschool budget enrollment” is defined as 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. This bill modifies the percentage used to calculate “preschool budget enrollment” based on the number of hours of instruction provided. For school districts providing or more hours, but less than hours per week of instruction, the percentage remains at percent. For school districts providing or more hours, but less than hours per week of instruction, the percentage is percent. For school districts providing or more hours per week of instruction, the percentage is percent. The bill takes effect January 1, 2023, and applies to school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2023.
