Summary

The bill changes the state’s school funding formula so that the ‘local need’ amount is based on the higher of a district’s average fall enrollment and its current fall enrollment. This affects all public K‑12 school districts by potentially altering the amount of state aid they receive. It aims to smooth funding fluctuations caused by year‑to‑year enrollment changes.
