The Redbud School Funding Act - Senate Bill 229 - would disburse medical marijuana funds to Oklahoma schools that receive the least local tax revenues. It is being cosponsored by Rep. Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow and will likely be heard by the House of Representatives this week.
If it had been in place this year, it would’ve led to $39 million going to schools for building-related improvements.
The measure works like this: if a school district receives below the state average of per student building fund dollars - from either local or state revenues - that district would receive a grant to make up for it.
