–Density Aid – Fixed and marginal costs are issues for Districts, therefore, changes in enrollment due to School Choice have a significant impact to Local Budgets, as a result Districts that see more than an amount greater than or equal to 5% because of School Choice would receive additional Aid –Differences in Expense Profiles of Traditional Districts and Public Schools of Choice - The differences in expenses are fundamental in nature, regulations, or statute.
