Summary

The bill amends state statutes to require each school board’s annual report to list all anticipated state and federal funds and any obligations tied to them. If a district receives money not listed in that report, it is treated as “unanticipated” and must be announced at a board meeting, with a public hearing required for amounts of $20,000 or more. The changes aim to increase transparency and public oversight of school financing.
