Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill mandates that every state‑required categorical education program and the school breakfast and lunch program be funded at 100% of the levels calculated by the State Board of Education, without any proration. It also directs the General Assembly to appropriate enough money each year, beginning in fiscal year 2027, to meet those full‑funding levels and to ensure the evidence‑based funding formula is fully funded for all school districts. This aims to give schools predictable resources and reduce reliance on local property taxes.
