Explanation

(This amendment provides $40.9 million the first year from the general fund and $42.5 million the second year from the general fund to amend staffing standards for assistant principals to provide one position for every 500 students. Current law provides (i) elementary schools with one half-time assistant principal for a school with 600-899 students, and a full-time assistant principal for a school with 900 or more students, and (ii) middle and high schools with one full-time assistant principal for every 600 students.)
