Joint Budget Committee. For the 2023-24 budget year, the bill
appropriates $24 million from the state education fund to the department of education (department) to distribute one-time funding to school districts and institute charter schools that enrolled new arrival students after the 2023-24 pupil enrollment count day.
The bill provides to each school district and each institute charter
school that requests funding pursuant to the bill:
•
An amount determined by a tiered schedule that is based on the total number of new arrival students who enrolled in the school district or institute charter schools after the 2023-24 pupil enrollment count day; and
•
$4,500 for each student who is in the school district's or institute charter schools' total net student population; except that, if the amount appropriated is insufficient to meet the demand, the department is required to proportionately reduce the $4,500 amount.
