AI Summary

  • Proposes a constitutional amendment to reset the base year for calculating the aggregate expenditure limitation for all school districts from fiscal year 1979-1980 to fiscal year 2026-2027.

  • Increases the aggregate expenditure limitation for school districts by multiplying the adjusted base amount by 1.10 (a 10% increase over the calculated limit).

  • Changes the definition of "student population" for school districts to use "weighted student count" instead of actual full-time student equivalents, while retaining the original definition for community college districts.

  • Removes provisions allowing the economic estimates commission to adjust school district expenditure limitations for annexations, new district creation, consolidations, or boundary changes (this adjustment remains only for community college districts).

  • Requires voter approval at the next general election and would apply to fiscal years beginning after June 30, 2027.
