05:25:57 PM |
Representative Kipp, sponsor, presented House Bill 19-1190, concerning the repeal of the Mill Levy Equalization Fund (fund). House Bill 17-1375 created the fund to provide a vehicle for providing supplemental funding to charter schools authorized by the Charter School Institute (CSI) in the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). Any funds appropriated or transferred to the fund must be distributed annually to institute charter schools on an equal, per-pupil basis. The bill repeals the fund, therefore removing the vehicle by which the state pays for mill levy equalization of CSI schools.
