Clarifies payments for non-resident students enrolled in renaissance school projects.

The bill clarifies that the school district in which a renaissance school project is located must pay the per pupil amount for each student who resides in the district. For non-resident students, their home school district must pay the per pupil amount to the nonprofit entity managing the renaissance school project. The Department of Education will use existing rules and procedures for charter schools to resolve disputes over student residency status or payments. The bill also mandates that renaissance school projects meet the same testing and academic performance standards as public schools.
