What’s in it
This bill provides that for the school budget year beginning July 1, 2023, and succeeding budget years, if percent of a school district’s actual enrollment of eligible students in the preschool programming for the budget year is greater than the school district’s preschool budget enrollment for the budget year (50 percent of the actual enrollment for the base year), the district is eligible to receive a preschool on-time funding budget adjustment for the budget year to be funded using revenues from the school district’s general fund.
Read the full explanation
The adjustment amount shall not exceed an amount equal to the difference between percent of the actual enrollment for the budget year and the preschool budget enrollment for the budget year, multiplied by the regular program state cost per pupil. The board of directors of a school district that wishes to receive a budget adjustment under the bill is required to adopt a resolution approving the use of funds from the district’s general fund. The bill also modifies provisions of Code chapter 256C relating to commingling preschool funds. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
