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.
