What’s in it
AI summary Iowa school districts will receive different amounts of preschool funding based on how many hours of instruction they provide each week. The amount of money a district gets depends on a specific percentage tied to their weekly teaching hours. This change affects how the state calculates preschool budget enrollment for school districts.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, but less than hours, per week of instruction, the percentage is 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 100 percent. The bill applies to school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2024.
