The goal is for each school district in a state to spend at least 65% of their operating budgets on classroom instruction as defined by the National Center for Educational Statistics. |
| |
|
| 2 |
If a school district is currently spending less than 65% on classroom instruction, it would need to increase that amount by 2% or more per year until the 65% goal is reached. |
| |
|
| 3 |
If a school district felt special circumstances prevented it from reaching either the 2% annual increase or the 65% goal, it could ask the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (or the state's highest ranking elected education official) for a renewable one-year waiver.

The State Superintendent would have the sole authority to grant-in-full, grant-in-part, or reject the school district's one-year waiver request. |
| |
|
| 5 |
The State Legislatures will be specifically left the task to set penalties to encourage compliance to the measure. |
