Committee: charters' pass-through funding unaffected; district to continue providing special-ed teachers
Summary
Staff told the committee that charter schools' pass-through rates are based on enrollment and will not be affected by the budget decisions; Reynolds SD 7 supplies special-education teachers to charters but all other charter teachers are employed by the charter.
Committee members asked whether charter schools are financially feasible under the proposed budget and whether increased charter enrollment could affect district staffing. Staff responded that charters' pass-through rates are calculated based on enrollment and would not be altered by the district's internal budget choices; the district supplies special-education teachers to charters, while other charter teachers are employed by the charter schools themselves.
Committee discussion noted charter enrollment caps and the possibility of student migration but recorded no change to pass-through arrangements. The minutes indicate this is a board-level policy conversation rather than a direct budget adjustment.
