programs and enrollments and may provide for achieving its goal over a multi-year period.
The recommended budget shall be submitted to the division of administration as the total
budget request for the school.
B. The Thrive Academy shall be considered a public school for purposes of receiving
funding through the minimum foundation program of education, in the same manner as for
other public schools as contained in the minimum foundation program budget letter approved
by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. The school shall also be eligible
to receive such other funding as may be specifically appropriated by the legislature.
