SCS/SB 497 - This act authorizes categorical state school
aid, subject to appropriation, of $700 per year to school
districts for each limited English proficient (LEP) student
educated by the district during the preceding year. If annual
appropriations are insufficient to fully fund the payments, the
per pupil amount shall be uniformly prorated for all such
payments to the extent necessary to ensure that the total of the
prorated payments equals the funds appropriated.
