Relates to payments made by school districts to charter schools

This bill requires school districts to directly pay charter schools for federal or state aid tied to students with disabilities, based on the level of services the charter school provides for those students. Payments must be made in quarterly installments aligned with the district's state aid schedule, and initial payments for a charter school's first year are based on projected enrollment (later adjusted using actual enrollment data). The commissioner of education determines final payment amounts, and school districts may reduce payments through agreements outlined in the charter. This change ensures charter schools receive accurate, timely funding for disability-related services, directly affecting school districts and charter schools.
