A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to Charter Schools.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 302D-28, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsections (a) and (b) to read as follows:
"(a) Beginning with fiscal year 2012-2013, and
each fiscal year thereafter, the non-facility general fund
per-pupil funding request for charter school students shall be the same as the general
fund per-pupil amount to the department in the most recently
approved executive budget recommendation for the department and shall be based
upon reasonable projected enrollment figures for all charter schools. The general fund
per-pupil request for each regular education and special education student
shall:
(1) Include all
general fund regular education cost categories, including comprehensive school
support services, but excluding special education services, adult education,
and the after-school plus program; provided that these services are provided
and funded by the department; [and]
(2) Exclude fringe
benefit costs and debt service[.]; and
(3) Exclude student transportation costs.
(b)
[Fringe] Student transportation costs for charter school
students and fringe benefit costs for charter school employees, regardless
of the payroll system utilized by a charter school, shall be included in the
department of budget and finance's annual budget request. No student transportation costs or fringe
benefit costs shall be charged directly to or deducted from the charter school
per-pupil allocations.
The
legislature shall make an appropriation based upon the budget request; provided
that the legislature may make additional appropriations for facility and other
costs.
The
governor, pursuant to chapter 37, may impose restrictions or reductions on
charter school appropriations similar to those imposed on department schools."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
