What’s in it
This bill relates to school districts that share the operational functions of a school resource officer. Current law provides that, through the budget year beginning July 1, 2034, a school district that shares with a political subdivision one or more operational functions in certain specified areas for at least percent of the school year shall be assigned a supplementary weighting for each shared operational function. The purpose of the supplementary weighting is to provide additional funding to increase student opportunities and redirect more resources to student programming for school districts.
Read the full explanation
Under current law, the supplementary weighting associated with a school resource officer is two pupils for the school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2022, but before July 1, 2035. The bill increases the supplementary weighting associated with a school resource officer to four pupils. The bill applies July 1, 2025, for school budget years beginning on or after that date.
