AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR THE CREATION OF REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT 20.

SB 541 allocates $1.5 million from the General Fund for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to fund the creation of Regional School District 20. The bill specifically directs this funding to the Department of Education and amends existing law to exempt it from the minimum budget requirement calculations for the new district. This funding is intended to support the establishment of the new regional school district, which will serve students in its designated area. The bill does not alter school operations or student eligibility but provides dedicated financial support for the district's formation.
