Bill > LB161

This bill modifies the definition of "formula students" in the Tax Equity and Educational Opportunities Support Act by changing the calculation method for state aid certification and final state aid calculation. Specifically, the bill adjusts the percentage used in calculating early childhood education fall membership and average daily membership from sixty percent to one hundred percent. This means that when determining the number of students used to calculate state educational funding, school districts will now be able to count a larger proportion of their early childhood education students. The change appears designed to provide more comprehensive funding recognition for early childhood educational programs. The bill amends section 79-1003 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska and repeals the original section, effectively updating the existing law to implement this new calculation method for formula students in state educational funding calculations.
