STATEMENT
This bill provides a supplemental appropriation of $3.8 million to the Department of Education to provide additional State school aid to districts, other than non-operating or county vocational school districts, that have experienced significant enrollment growth since the 2008-2009 school year. To receive the additional aid, the district's projected resident enrollment for October 2011 must exceed the actual October 2008 resident enrollment by at least 15 percent. An eligible district would receive aid equal to the change in the resident enrollment between October 2008 and October 2011 multiplied by the per pupil amount of equalization aid, special education and security categorical aids, and adjustment aid received in the 2008-2009 school year.
