Bill Summary

For legislation relative to the calculation of economically disadvantaged students. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the identification of low-income students for the purposes of expanding eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch. It provides two means of calculation to certify students: (1) Direct Certification (DC) under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Pilot Program, and (2) a run of the Chapter 70 formula for the fiscal year that calculates low-income enrollment using the most recent free and reduced-price meal data available for each district. The bill also establishes a cross-agency Economically Disadvantaged Student Calculation task force to address and solve the challenges surfacing with the implementation of direct certification, and to make recommendations for revising the Commonwealth's approach to these calculations as appropriate.
