SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 513 adds the charter school student activities program unit into the program cost
calculation.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
Indeterminate appropriation impact
HB-513 does not contain an appropriation. At present, charter school activities costs are carried
either by the charter school or the school district. These activity costs can include facilities costs,
janitorial costs, costs for opening the doors of a school site and insurance. By including charter
school activities in the program cost calculations, school districts and school sites that host
charter school activities may be relieved of this burden.
