Bill > HB2883

This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 15-949 to adjust the student count threshold for small school districts to qualify for certain budget flexibility. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum student count for common, high school, and unified school districts to be considered "small" from 125 to 160 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, and also for high school districts with 160 or fewer students in grades nine through twelve. This change allows these smaller districts to adopt budgets exceeding the general budget limit without requiring a special election, and also modifies how excess budget amounts are calculated and funded, particularly for districts that have previously operated under these provisions. The bill also makes technical adjustments to language regarding tax levies and ballot statements for budget override elections.
