Lyman Ward Military Academy, appropriation

Summary

This bill appropriates 273,276 from the Education Trust Fund to Lyman Ward Military Academy for the 2013-2014 fiscal year and requires plans and reports before distributing the funds.

What This Bill Does

It provides a specific state funding amount to the academy for its educational program. The funds are released only after the academy submits an approved operations plan and an audited financial statement for 2011-2012, and the bill requires ongoing quarterly reports and an end-of-year performance report. The Director of Finance would release the funds after these reports and must share the reports with the Joint Fiscal Committee.
