Add weighted funding back into the school aid funding formula for students with unique learning needs

Summary

The bill restores a weighted funding component to the state’s school aid formula, giving extra money for students who have disabilities or are learning English. Counties would receive additional funds by counting these students as 1.5 times a regular student, and must apply to the state superintendent to receive the money. The aim is to help districts cover the higher costs of specialized programs.
