AI Summary

This bill aims to reform education finance by making changes to the way charter school tuition is funded and calculated. The key provisions include: 1) excluding the portion of charter school tuition directly funded by the state from a district's net school spending calculation, 2) allowing the state to directly fund 100% of any increase in a district's charter school tuition costs in the first year, 50% in the second year, and 25% in the third year, and 3) requiring the state to directly fund the per-pupil capital costs of charter schools. The changes are intended to provide more financial support for districts with high charter school tuition costs.
