Bill Summary
Local governing bodies; appropriations of local school funds to families for compulsory student attendance in nonpublic school settings. Permits any local governing body to reserve per pupil amounts of apportioned Standards of Quality costs and appropriate such amounts to the parents of students in the local school division for the satisfaction of the compulsory attendance of their children in nonpublic school settings.
AI Summary
This bill allows local governing bodies, such as county or city councils, to set aside a portion of the funds they are required to spend on public education, specifically the per-pupil costs associated with meeting state-mandated educational standards (known as "Standards of Quality costs"). These reserved funds can then be given directly to parents within that local school division. The purpose of this appropriation is to help parents cover the costs of their children attending private or religious schools (referred to as "nonpublic school settings") to fulfill the state's requirement that all children attend school ("compulsory attendance").
