Senate Bill 198
The final
education funding bill, SB 198 provides school districts with
$6.5 million on top of regular state aid distributed through the
formula. Under 198, school districts must meet adequate yearly
progress (AYP) in reading and math in order to receive this
funding. Districts that do not meet AYP may apply to the
Department of Education for a grant to assist the district in
meeting future academic targets. This bill also provides for
$1.5 million to be distributed among sparse school districts.
