Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Public Instruction may award grants to
school districts to develop innovative instructional programs in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM); support pupils who are typically
under-represented in these subjects; and increase the academic achievement of
pupils in those subjects. This bill increases the appropriation for STEM grants by
$65,600 in both the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
