HB 584 (2017)

Amends the amount of money per pupil the state would provide to public charter schools for each student, except for payments to the Virtual Learning Academy Charter School, which is unaffected by this bill. At the time of this bill's submission, the annual per pupil aid for public charter schools is $4,917.78 for kindergarten students, and $6,735.81 for grade 1-12 students. Under this bill, per pupil aid for all pupils (including kindergarten) would be calculated at 55% of the most recently available statewide average cost per pupil for public schools, including any differentiated aid.
