AI Summary

This bill establishes funds to provide additional cost reimbursements to school districts that have experienced at least a 20-student increase in the number of English learners over the prior fiscal year. The reimbursement amount would be equal to the positive difference between the number of English learners on October 1 of the prior fiscal year and the current fiscal year, and would be calculated based on the reimbursement provided for English learners under Chapter 70. The reimbursements would be kept in a separate fund and disbursed by the state treasurer to the eligible school districts, in addition to any other reimbursements or grants they may receive.
