SSB 1211: Modifying supplemental aid and modified supplemental amounts for certain school districts relating to open enrollment, and including effective date and applicability provisions

What it does

31(5) establishes circumstances under which the school budget review committee (committee) may grant supplemental aid or a modified supplemental amount to a district. This bill strikes the current provisions for school districts with high open enrollment into the district and inserts new provisions to qualify for supplemental aid or a modified supplemental amount. Under the bill, if the percentage of students enrolled in the school district as the result of open enrollment is equal to or greater than percent of the total number of students enrolled in the school district, such circumstance is an unusual circumstance.
