77-G:8 Scholarship Stabilization Grant. –
I. For each school district, the department of education shall calculate the combined amount of reductions in adequacy cost pursuant to RSA 77-G:7 from students receiving scholarships under RSA 77-G:1, VIII(a)(1) and who were in attendance in that district in the year prior to receiving the scholarships. If this combined amount is greater than 1/4 of one percent of a school district's total voted appropriations for the year prior to the scholarship year, the commissioner of the department of education shall disburse a scholarship stabilization grant for the current and next 3 fiscal years to each such school district equal to the amount of the reductions in excess of 1/4 of one percent. This scholarship stabilization grant shall be included in the September 1 disbursement required pursuant to RSA 198:42.
II. The department of education shall order any scholarship organizations that provided scholarships to students from districts that were awarded stabilization grants pursuant to paragraph I to conduct a scholarship impact survey. The organization shall forward the results of this survey to the department of education and the school board of each district. The department of education shall post the results of this survey online.
