More detail

Money for the charter school authority is transferred to it to offset a decrease in federal grant funding. Unused money cannot be committed after the fiscal year ends and must be returned to the State General Fund by the listed deadline. The first five appropriations cover fiscal years 2025–2026 and 2026–2027. Any unspent balances must be returned to the State General Fund by September 18, 2026, or September 17, 2027, as applicable.
