The proposed bill would update current Arizona statutes by increasing funding levels for K-12 education. Specifically, it would raise the base level for basic state aid for FY 2027 from $5,113.26 to $5,215.53 and increase the charter additional assistance amount per student for preschool and grades 1-8 from $2,131.90 to $2,174.54, and for grades 9-12 from $2,484.69 to $2,534.38. Additionally, it would adjust the transportation support level formula per-route-mile amount for FY 2027 and require the Arizona Department of Education to recalculate the basic state aid for the Alhambra Elementary School District. Moreover, the bill would establish a Property Proceeds Fund for the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind and mandate the implementation of a Child Sexual Abuse and Assault Awareness and Prevention Pilot Program. This program would involve training for teachers and parents, require input from various stakeholders, and ensure the curriculum is survivor-informed. Schools would be required to provide parents with educational materials and report on the program's effectiveness. Overall, these updates aim to enhance funding and improve safety and awareness in Arizona's K-12 education system.
