Summary

The bill changes how the state and local districts pay for charter public schools, the William M. Davies Jr. Career and Technical High School, and the Metropolitan Regional Career and Technical Center. It reduces local per‑pupil payments based on enrollment changes and cost calculations, caps the reduction at 14% (subject to removal), and provides three years of supplemental aid to districts where these schools enroll at least 5% of students. The changes aim to align funding with actual enrollment and offset district costs.
