This bill, HB 2906, clarifies how Arizona finances charter schools sponsored by state agencies, universities, or community colleges. It establishes specific rules for calculating funding amounts, including adjustments for small schools and methods for counting student enrollment to determine state aid. The legislation also addresses situations where a student is enrolled in both a charter school and a traditional public school, ensuring funding is not duplicated for the same pupil. Additionally, the bill outlines how state aid is distributed and requires adjustments to school budgets if the schools receive other federal or state grants.
