Public schools; At-Risk Program established, Standards of Quality.

Summary

The bill adds an At‑Risk Program that funds extra teachers, reading specialists, counselors, and other support staff in schools with high numbers of at‑risk pupils. It also creates state‑funded add‑ons for special‑education and English‑language‑learner students and sets targets for lower pupil‑to‑teacher ratios and smaller class sizes. Schools must report yearly on how local, state, and federal funds are spent, and the formulas for these funds will be written into the general appropriation act.
