AI Summary
This bill establishes a cap on the reduction of State school aid for school districts, ensuring that the amount of State school aid disbursed to a district in any given school year will not decrease by more than one percent compared to the prior year's aid. This provision overrides existing laws and regulations that might allow for larger reductions. The bill also amends existing law regarding the calculation of State aid differentials, which are used to determine how much aid a district receives, by incorporating this new one percent reduction cap. The "State aid differential" refers to the difference between the calculated State aid a district should receive and the amount it is currently receiving, and this bill aims to limit how much that difference can lead to a reduction in actual aid.
