The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6451, seeks to amend section 10-262h of the general statutes to revise the definition of resident students and the per pupil amounts paid under the Education Cost Sharing Grant. The bill introduces new language that allows for the inclusion of students who were previously enrolled in a public school under the jurisdiction of a town's board of education during the prior fiscal year but are now attending a nonpublic school.

Under this new provision, for each of these students, two-thirds of the per pupil amount will be allocated to the town, while the remaining one-third will be directed to the nonpublic school that the student is currently attending. This change aims to adjust the equalization aid grant formula to better reflect the current enrollment patterns and financial responsibilities associated with resident students.
