What’s in it
AI summary School districts can currently set up special non-profit organizations to help support their students. Right now, these districts must report how much money these groups make and spend to the state and the local community every year. This bill removes the requirement for school districts to send those reports to the state and stops the state from including that information in its annual education report.1
Read the official explanation
62 authorizes a school district to establish, and authorize expenditures for the operational support of, an entity or organization for the sole benefit of the school district and its students that is exempt from federal income taxation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The board of directors of the school district is required to annually report to the department of education and to the local community the administrative expenditures, revenues, and activities of the entity or organization, and the department is required to include a summary of such information in its annual condition of education report. This bill strikes the requirement that the school district annually report to the department of education and the requirement that the department include a summary of such information in its annual report.
