The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6213, aims to amend chapter 172 of the general statutes to establish a reimbursement system for local and regional boards of education. Specifically, the bill stipulates that these boards will receive reimbursement on a pro rata basis for each student who was previously enrolled in an interdistrict magnet school and subsequently enrolls in a public school under their jurisdiction after October first of the school year.

The intent of this legislation is to provide financial support to school districts that accommodate former magnet school students, ensuring that they are compensated for the additional costs incurred when these students transition to public schools later in the academic year. The bill introduces new legal language regarding the reimbursement process while removing any conflicting provisions that may exist in current law.
