Bill Summary
PUBLIC SCHOOLS -- Amends existing law to provide funding for full-day kindergarten and to provide that students in full-day kindergarten shall be counted as full-time students for purposes of enrollment counts.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to provide funding for full-day kindergarten and to count students in full-day kindergarten as full-time students for the purpose of enrollment counts. Specifically, it removes the requirement that kindergarten students can only be counted as 0.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) and instead allows them to be counted as 1.0 FTE if they are enrolled in a full-day kindergarten program. This change is intended to eliminate the need for school districts to rely on supplemental levies to fund optional full-day kindergarten, and districts are expected to use the additional funding to reduce existing supplemental levies related to full-day kindergarten.
