§ 16524 School District Funding Eligibility

This law says a school district can get extra money from the state if they have at least 25 kids from special projects and these kids make up at least 5% of all kids in the district.

Key Takeaways

  • •The district must have at least 25 kids from special projects to get extra money.
  • •These kids must make up at least 5% of all kids in the district.
  • •The law helps districts with a good number of kids from special projects.

Example

A small school district has 500 kids in total. If 30 of them are from special projects (like housing projects), the district can get extra money from the state.

Because 30 kids are more than 25 and they make up 6% of all kids (which is more than 5%), the district qualifies for extra money.
