Why it matters
Expands eligibility for state aid. by allowing nonpublic schools to qualify for reimbursement based on either the traditional 5.0/5.5 hour instructional day or an alternative workday schedule certified by school officials. This could benefit schools with different scheduling models.
Aligns attendance reporting requirements. with state reimbursement rules, meaning nonpublic schools can receive aid for any day or portion of a day when attendance is taken, not just full instructional days. This may increase flexibility in how schools structure their days.
Standardizes calculation methods. for salary and benefits by referencing prior years’ methodologies (specifically, the 2012–2013 school year and before), potentially providing more predictability and fairness in how state aid amounts are determined.
