Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill establishes funds to provide for increases in English language learners (ELLs) in school districts. Specifically, any school district that has experienced at least a 20 student increase over the prior fiscal year in the number of ELLs will receive an additional cost reimbursement from the Commonwealth. This reimbursement will be equal to the positive difference between the number of ELLs on October 1 of the prior fiscal year and the number of ELLs for the current fiscal year, and the amount per student will be equal to the reimbursement provided for in Chapter 70 for an ELL for that school district. The school district will receive an advance allotment payment from the Commonwealth, and the additional cost reimbursements will be kept in a separate fund to be disbursed to the school district by the state treasurer.
