What does this bill do?

Amends charter school funding to allocate school district central office nonpersonnel expenses and proportionally distribute central office personnel costs to charter schools based on average daily membership.

Charter schools receive 100% of the foundation program amount based on their average daily membership, minus amounts generated by specific funding attachments and certain deductions, with exceptions for central office expense allocation. (W.S. 21-3-314(c)(i), W.S. 21-13-309(m))
Charter schools receive a proportional allocation of school district central office expenses calculated by dividing the charter school's average daily membership by the total district average daily membership and multiplying by the amounts generated from the foundation program and specified attachments. (W.S. 21-3-314(c)(vi), W.S. 21-13-101(a)(xvii))
