72-6414a. At-risk education fund; uses of money, unencumbered balance in fund; reports to the state board. (a) There is hereby established in every district a fund which shall be called the at-risk education fund, which fund shall consist of all moneys deposited therein or transferred thereto according to law. The expenses of a district directly attributable to providing at-risk assistance or programs, including assistance or programs provided to nonproficient pupils, shall be paid from the at-risk education fund.

(b) Any balance remaining in the at-risk education fund at the end of the budget year shall be carried forward into the at-risk education fund for succeeding budget years. Such fund shall not be subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 79-2925 through 79-2937, and amendments thereto. In preparing the budget of such school district, the amounts credited to and the amount on hand in the at-risk education fund, and the amount expended therefrom shall be included in the annual budget for the information of the residents of the school district. Interest earned on the investment of moneys in any such fund shall be credited to that fund.

Any unencumbered balance of moneys remaining in the at-risk education fund of a school district on June 30 of the current school year, may be expended in the school year that immediately succeeds such date by the school district for general operating expenses of the school district as approved by the board of education.

(c) Each year the board of education of each school district shall prepare and submit to the state board a report on the at-risk program or assistance provided by the district. Such report shall include information specifying the number of at-risk pupils and nonproficient pupils who were served or provided assistance, the type of service provided, the research upon which the district relied in determining that a need for service or assistance existed, the results of providing such service or assistance and any other information required by the state board.

(d) In order to achieve uniform reporting of the number of at-risk pupils and nonproficient pupils provided service or assistance by school districts in at-risk programs, districts shall report the number of at-risk pupils and nonproficient pupils served or assisted in the manner required by the state board.
