Senate requests House to concur

Summary

The bill keeps the existing school‑aid formula through 2029, then moves county schools to a flat $6,100 per student block grant (with a 1,200‑student minimum) while charter schools receive $8,600 per student. It also creates a Supplemental School Aid Fund that pays extra money for Tier II and Tier III special‑needs students and lets districts request money for transportation, vocational centers, alternative schools, and pilot programs. The Legislature will oversee the new funds and can restrict them if districts mismanage money.
