I am happy to clarify the intent behind section 10306 in the bill. Let me say that it is not our intent to create a disparity in funding or eligibility as to Federal categorical education funds, Federal taxpayer aid for public education between traditional public schools and charter schools within a local education agency. Furthermore, it is not our intent to create a new formula-driven funding stream or program to charter schools, other than what they are currently eligible to receive under title I, part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and I hope this addresses the gentleman's concerns.
