  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    2.  Program plans shall identify the parts of the plan that
  1  4 will be implemented first upon approval of the request.  If a
  1  5 district is requesting to use modified allowable growth to
  1  6 finance the program, the school district shall not identify
  1  7 more than five seven percent of its budget enrollment for the
  1  8 budget year as returning dropouts and potential dropouts.
  1  9                           EXPLANATION
  1 10    This bill allows a school district to identify up to 7
  1 11 percent of the district's budget enrollment as returning
  1 12 dropouts and potential dropouts when the district is
  1 13 requesting to use modified allowable growth to fund a program
  1 14 for returning dropouts and dropout prevention.  A school
  1 15 district was previously allowed to identify only 5 percent of
  1 16 the district's budget enrollment as returning dropouts or
  1 17 potential dropouts.
