Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SCHOOL FINANCE; ADJUSTING SCHOOL DISTRICTS' AND CHARTER SCHOOLS' FISCAL YEAR 2023 TRANSPORTATION DISTRIBUTION CALCULATIONS FOR EFFECTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 PANDEMIC ON TRANSPORTATION; MAKING TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENTS TO TRANSPORTATION DISTRIBUTIONS.

AI Summary

This bill makes temporary adjustments to the calculation of transportation distributions for school districts and charter schools in New Mexico for fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Specifically, it allows the state transportation director to use the average amounts reported on the second and third reporting dates of fiscal year 2020, rather than the prior year, when certifying transportation distributions. This is intended to account for the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on transportation needs and costs. The bill also provides a special provision for state-chartered charter schools that did not have a transportation program in fiscal years 2019 or 2020 but did in 2022, allowing the use of 2022 data to calculate the 2023 transportation distribution.
