What’s in it

AI summary Starting in July 2024, school districts will have a limit on how much money they can spend on administrative costs. This rule ensures that a certain percentage of a district's total budget goes toward these specific expenses. The Department of Education will decide exactly which costs count as administrative.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill provides that for budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2024, the portion of the total authorized expenditures of a school district that is budgeted for administrative costs shall not exceed percent of the total authorized expenditures of a school district. “Administrative costs” shall be defined by rules adopted by the department of education.

Changed since by amendment S-3079; see Amendments.
