Restricts Commissioner of Education's authority to reject school district's budget proposal.
This bill amends the law to restrict the Commissioner of Education's authority to reject a school district's budget proposal. It eliminates the commissioner's ability to reject a budget proposal based on the general fund tax levy or total general fund budget being less than the prior year's amount. The commissioner can still reject a proposal if it fails to meet thoroughness and efficiency standards. The bill also mandates annual audits for school districts where state aid equals 80% or more of their net budget.
