AI Summary

This bill aims to accelerate student success through expanded learning time. It amends the existing Chapter 70 and Chapter 71 of the law to include an "expanded learning time program allotment" as part of the funding formula for public schools and charter schools. This additional funding will only be provided to charter schools that serve a high percentage of low-income students, offer at least 1,200 hours of instruction annually at the elementary level and 1,290 hours at the middle school level, and have an approved expanded learning time performance agreement with the state education department. The expanded learning time program allotment is determined by multiplying the number of students enrolled in the charter school by a wage adjustment factor and a fixed dollar amount.
