HB 423 -- State School Aid for At-Risk Students

Co-Sponsors:  Icet, St. Onge, Jackson, Avery, Stefanick,
Cunningham (86)

This bill corrects an anomaly in the calculation of at-risk
funding that currently prevents certain districts from realizing
the benefit of an operating levy above $2.75.  The bill also
requires that the 1997-1998 per eligible pupil amount of at-risk
funding available to hold-harmless districts be recalculated to
exclude voluntary transfer students originally included in the
calculation, thereby permitting these districts to get the
benefit of growth in the number of resident pupils without
measuring from an artificially inflated base.
