Per pupil aid
Under current law, per pupil aid is a categorical aid paid to school districts. Per pupil aid is funded from a sum sufficient appropriation and is not considered for purposes of revenue limits. Under current law, the amount of per pupil aid paid to a school district is calculated using a three-year average of the number of pupils enrolled in the school district and a per pupil amount set by law. Under current law in the 2022-23 school year and each school year thereafter, the per pupil amount is $742. Under the bill, the per pupil amount is $766 in the 2023-24 school year and $811 in the 2024-25 school year and each year thereafter.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
