AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a school choice tuition system in the state. It sets a maximum tuition amount of $6,500 per student enrolling in a receiving district and uses a sliding scale fee structure to calculate the actual tuition amount based on the sending district's percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The state treasurer is authorized to deduct the tuition amount from the sending district's total education aid and deposit it into a School Choice Tuition Trust Fund. If the total deductions exceed the district's education aid, the excess amount will be deducted from other state aid or appropriated by the Commonwealth, depending on the district's status under Chapter 70 of the education code.
