Education for epileptic children served by state, district, county, or municipal hospital within school district boundaries unless 60% of the served children reside in a single school district in the same or an adjacent county. The state share index is multiplied by the total basic state aid to arrive at the actual amount each district receives. The index is basically a ratio determined by a district’s local per pupil property wealth and median income when compared with the averages for both values on a statewide basis. For more detailed information, please see the Line by Line analysis in Appendix N. A student enrolled in a community school or STEM school must be afforded the opportunity to participate in any extracurricular activities at the school of the student's resident school district to which the student would have been assigned (regardless of whether the community school or STEM school is sponsored or operated by the school district as required under prior law). The superintendent of any school district is permitted to afford to any student who is enrolled in a community school or STEM school and who is not entitled to attend school in that district, the opportunity to participate in the school's extracurricular activities if (1) the student's school does not offer the extracurricular activity, and (2) the activity is not interscholastic athletics or interscholastic contests or competition in music, drama, or forensics. A school district board of education is also prohibited from imposing additional rules on a community school or STEM school student that do not apply to other students participating in the same extracurricular activity. Boards of education are permitted to adopt a schedule of fees for materials used for instruction and a schedule of charges which may be imposed upon students for the loss, damage, or destruction of school apparatus (e.g. equipment, musical instruments, library material, textbooks, or electronic textbooks) or damage to school buildings. The payment of these fees and charges may be enforced by withholding the student’s grades and credits. However, no student eligible for a free (not reduced price) lunch can be charged a fee for any materials used in a course of instruction. This broad exemption does not apply to the loss, damage, or destruction cited above. It also does not apply to any charges for non-instructional purposes (e.g. “pay to participate” fees, parking permits, etc.) nor to fund raising activities. The permission to withhold grades and credits does not apply in the case of abused, neglected, or dependent children. See RECORDS OF ABUSED, NEGLECTED, OR DEPENDENT CHILDREN above. If a law enforcement agency notifies the school which a reported missing child last attended, a school district “official” must mark the record. (The request by the law enforcement agency is voluntary. However, if the request by law enforcement is made, the actions of the school are required.) Should a request for the student’s records arrive, the school must then notify the law enforcement agency that requested the marking of the record. The school must forward the record to the requesting school with no indication that the record had been marked.
