Bill > HB3243

This bill modifies the definition of "net enrollment" in West Virginia's education funding calculation by adding a specific provision for year-round schools and alternative placement schools. Under the new language, these schools will calculate their full-time equivalent enrollment funding by taking the maximum number of students enrolled on the annual date of maximum enrollment and multiplying that number by 1.5. This means that schools with fluctuating enrollment throughout the year can receive funding that more accurately reflects their total student population, potentially providing more financial support for schools with non-traditional academic calendars or specialized educational environments. The provision is added as a new subsection (6) to the existing definition of net enrollment in the state education code, which already includes detailed rules about how student counts are determined for funding purposes.
