Under the bill, school districts would receive the additional aid equaling the total sum of reductions in excess of three percent of the prior year's State school aid.

AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Education to provide additional State aid to school districts that experienced reductions in their State school aid greater than three percent of the previous year's aid during the 2020-2021 through 2024-2025 school years, with the amount of additional aid calculated based on the total sum of these excess reductions. "State school aid" is defined as the combined total of a district's equalization aid, transportation aid, special education categorical aid, security categorical aid, and adjustment aid, which are types of funding provided by the state to support public schools. The bill also authorizes the appropriation of necessary funds from the Property Tax Relief Fund to implement these provisions and takes effect immediately.
