This bill makes certain additional school districts eligible for sparsity aid. Under current law, a school district is eligible for sparsity aid in the amount of $300 per pupil if the school district's membership in the previous school year does not exceed 745 pupils and if the membership divided by the school district's area in square miles is less than ten. This bill increases the per pupil payment to $400. Also under this bill, a school district with the same density of pupils per square miles and with a membership in the previous school year of more than 745 students but no more than 1,000 students is eligible for sparsity aid in the amount of $100 per pupil.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
