Section 1.  Elementary pupils.  Clarifies the difference between half-day and full-day kindergarten pupils for the purpose of providing educational aids (e.g. textbooks, standardized tests, pupil support services, etc.) to nonpublic students.

Effective date:  Makes this section effective beginning in the 2014-15 school year.

Section 2.  Pupil unit.  Modifies the pupil weight for full-day kindergarten pupils. Beginning in fiscal year 2015, the full-day kindergarten pupil weight is increased and is then equivalent to the weight assigned to grades 1-3. The half-day pupil weight remains unchanged from current law.

Effective date:  Makes this section effective beginning in the 2013-2014 school year (note that the weight change lags the effective date by one year).

Section 3.  Learning year pupil units.  Clarifies the difference between half-day and full-day kindergarten pupils for the purpose of calculating revenue for pupils in an area learning center or alternative learning program.

Effective date:  Makes this section effective beginning in the 2014-15 school year.

Section 4.  Additional revenue use.  Removes the provision of all-day, everyday kindergarten from the list of allowed uses for additional learning and development revenue.

Effective date:  Makes this section effective beginning in the 2014-15 school year.
