Bill > HB4877

This bill amends the revised school code by adding a new section that mandates the state legislature to provide annual funding specifically to support at-risk pupils starting in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. Under this provision, each public school will receive an additional funding allocation equal to 35% of its foundation allowance (a base per-pupil funding amount) from the State School Aid Act. At-risk pupils are defined according to section 31a of the State School Aid Act, which typically includes students who face educational challenges such as economic disadvantage, potential academic failure, or other barriers to educational success. By requiring this supplemental funding, the bill aims to provide targeted financial resources to help schools better support students who may need extra educational assistance or interventions.
