AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of "free lunch and free milk calculated students" in the Tax Equity and Educational Opportunities Support Act by removing the language "one hundred ten percent of" when calculating the number of students for schools using the community eligibility provision. Specifically, the bill changes how schools that provide free meals to all students determine their calculated student count. Previously, these schools would multiply their identified student percentage by 110%, but now they will multiply by the exact identified student percentage. The bill ensures that the calculated number of free lunch students cannot exceed 100% of the students qualified for free meals under the community eligibility provision. This technical change appears to more precisely align the calculation of student counts for funding purposes, potentially affecting how school districts receive educational support based on their student demographics and meal program participation.
