SB 6458-S - DIGEST
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE)

Authorizes a school district, beginning with taxes levied for collection in 2019, to levy an additional enrichment levy dollar amount not to exceed an amount equal to twenty-five cents per thousand dollars of the assessed value of property in the school district.

Requires the additional amount to be used exclusively for the early childhood education and assistance program, the early learning programs that score at least 3.5 in the early achievers program, other high quality early learning programs approved by the department of children, youth, and families, and capital expenses if the expenses are limited to twenty-five percent of the total revenues generated by the tax levy and school districts have demonstrated a need for additional classroom space and the facilities would be used primarily for high quality early learning programs.
