Increases the basic allotment from $6,160 to $7,365 per student in average enrollment, and adjusts the basic allotment annually for inflation starting in the 2024-2025 school year. It also modifies various other school funding allotments and formulas, including for small and mid-sized districts, special education, career and technical education, bilingual education, and classroom teachers. The bill implements a new "service group" funding model for special education based on the level of services required. It also establishes new allotments for school safety, mental health supports, and paid parental leave for school district employees. Additionally, the bill requires school districts to offer full-day pre-kindergarten for eligible 4-year-old children.
