| ID | Signed into law 04/2011 | P-12 | This legislation makes amendments to SB 1184 – the third bill in the Students Come First plan. These changes are as follows:

The relief is expanded from the 6%, 8% and 10% granted by SB 1184 for FY12, FY13 and FY14+ to 7%, 9.5% and 11%. This adjustment allows the amount of relief to better reflect the actual budget that was set for Public Schools after the introduction of SB 1184.
Revises provisions relating to fractional average daily attendance for students attending more than one school district or public charter school, or who are enrolled in online courses.
Revises provisions relating to staff allowances and funded positions and revises provisions relating to the education portion of the experience and education multiplier table.

Establishes provisions for dual credits for early completers, making them eligible for up to 36 post-secondary credits of dual credit courses in twelfth grade.
Revises provisions permitting post secondary institutions to operate public charter schools.
