Catch Title:
School
finance-distance education.

Subject:
School
district distance education programs offered pursuant to agreements between
districts.

Summary/Major Elements:

School districts providing
distance education programs to non-resident students through agreements with
the non-resident student's district, receive tuition payments from that
district for the student's participation in the distance education program;

In a few districts, due to
the large number of non-resident students participating in the district's
distance education program, tuition fees are of sufficient magnitude to impact
the district's foundation program entitlement by reducing the guarantee through
local revenue reductions;

The enacted law excludes
distance education tuition revenues from local revenue computations used in
determining district foundation program entitlements.
