Related bill: HF1048
AI Generated Summary
Senate File No. 1200 is a bill introduced to clarify how to calculate the funding for charter schools in Minnesota. The bill specifies that charter schools should receive general education revenue in the same way as school districts. This involves calculating funding based on the average state education revenue per student, adjusted for certain factors like local and referendum aids, but excluding others like transportation costs. Additionally, if a charter school runs extended educational programs, they can receive additional funding. For special education charter schools, the bill seeks to ensure they get funds covering additional costs for students not eligible for special education services.
