Caption from analyzed text · version I.
Chapter 49 money stops counting against districts, starting 2027-2028.
The bill changes how the state's school financial rating system figures a district's ratio of assets to liabilities. It touches school districts that must reduce local revenue under the state's recapture law, the ones that send money back under Chapter 49. Starting with the 2027-2028 school year, the money those districts must spend to comply with Chapter 49 cannot be counted against them when the ratio is figured for their financial rating.
