AI Summary
This bill establishes an extraordinary need grant for schools in addition to regular adequate education grants and relief grants. The grant is calculated based on a municipality's equalized valuation per pupil eligible to receive a free or reduced-price meal. Municipalities with lower equalized valuations receive higher grants, up to $650 per eligible pupil, while those with higher equalized valuations are not eligible. To receive the grant, school districts must provide a plan to the Department of Education outlining how they intend to improve student achievement, and they must submit annual progress reports. The extraordinary need grants are added to the final adequate education grant amounts calculated under current law.
