Requiring the Interagency Commission on School Construction to distribute funds to public charter schools for the maintenance and operation of public charter school facilities; and beginning in fiscal year 2028, requiring the Governor to include in the annual budget bill an appropriation for the maintenance and operation of public charter school facilities that is equal to the total aggregate student enrollment in the Maryland Public Charter School Program for the prior fiscal year multiplied by $1,600.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Interagency Commission on School Construction, an entity responsible for overseeing school building projects, to provide funds to public charter schools specifically for the upkeep and running of their school buildings, referred to as "public charter school facilities." Furthermore, starting in fiscal year 2028, the Governor must include a specific amount in the state's annual budget to cover these facility costs, calculated by multiplying the total number of students enrolled in Maryland's public charter schools in the previous year by $1,600 per student. This ensures dedicated funding for the maintenance and operation of these schools' physical spaces.
