SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Extended School Year Incentive Program. Creates the Extended School Year Incentive Program and Fund, from such funds as may be appropriated, to be administered by the Board of Education, for incentive grants for public school divisions for the operation of schools beyond the 180-day school year required by the Standards of Accreditation.

The Board is to establish procedures for calculating amounts for incentive grants to school divisions. Such calculations shall reflect the number of (i) additional days of actual school operation; (ii) students served; and (iii) the number of schools per division operating on such extended basis and shall incorporate consideration of local ability to pay. The grants shall not be awarded to support summer school initiatives. The Board is to develop a reporting mechanism whereby recipient school divisions shall account for the application of grant moneys awarded from the Fund. The Board may issue guidelines governing the Program as it deems necessary and appropriate.
