Summary

The bill changes how state aid is calculated for K‑12 districts and charter schools by increasing the supplemental grant from 20% to 35% of the base grant and keeping the concentration grant at 65% for districts with high concentrations of unduplicated pupils. It also refines how unduplicated pupils—especially those who are homeless, foster youth, English learners or low‑income—are counted, sets new grade‑span base grant amounts, adds cost‑of‑living and transitional‑kindergarten adjustments, and provides a reimbursement mechanism for any state‑mandated costs. The changes start in the 2030‑31 fiscal year and apply to all public schools that receive LCF funding.
