Bill > HF2016

This bill modifies the general education revenue calculation for charter schools by adding safe schools aid to their funding structure. Specifically, the bill introduces a new provision that allocates $36 per adjusted pupil unit for charter schools to use for safe schools purposes, as defined in an existing state statute. This means charter schools will now receive additional funding specifically designated for safety-related expenses, such as security measures, safety training, or programs aimed at creating a secure learning environment. The bill amends the existing statute on charter school revenue by inserting language that establishes this new safe schools aid component, ensuring that charter schools have dedicated resources to support student and staff safety. The funding will be calculated based on the number of adjusted pupil units (a measure of student enrollment) and must be used for the specific safety-related purposes outlined in the referenced statute section.
