(1)As used in this section "summer learning program" and "summer learning camp"

mean the program and camps established by KRS 158.865 to 158.867.

(2)To the extent funds are appropriated by the General Assembly to support summer

learning programs, those funds shall be distributed to each local district operating a

summer learning program each year based on the average daily membership of the

district's summer learning camps for that year. In addition, any funds appropriated

to support transportation of students to summer learning camps, shall be distributed

based on the previous year per pupil calculation as determined under KRS 157.370.

(a)Each school district operating a summer learning program shall establish and

maintain a separate fund for each school where a summer learning camp is

being held. The fund:

1. Shall include any state appropriations specifically designated for the

summer learning camp at the school, excluding Title I funds; and

2. May include moneys from grants, donations from individuals and

businesses, and proceeds from fundraising efforts to support the summer

learning camp at the school.

(b)Funds in the accounts shall be used for personnel, field trips, and to purchase

supplies, materials, and equipment for the summer learning camp.

(c)Any amounts remaining in an individual school fund at the end of the year

shall be carried forward into the next year. If a school discontinues operation

of its summer learning camp, the funds shall be transferred to another school

in the district where a summer learning camp will be held. If there are no

summer learning camps in the district, the funds may be used by the district to

close the achievement gap for low-income students.
