Bill > SB0062

This bill modifies how weighted pupil units, which are a way to calculate funding for students based on their educational needs, are determined and allocated. Specifically, it removes language that excluded self-contained special education classes from the calculation of weighted pupil units and instead creates a new section to define and fund these units, ensuring that savings from enrollment declines are reallocated to support self-contained special education programs and programs for at-risk students. The bill also clarifies how kindergarten student funding is calculated and adjusts the method for distributing funds based on student enrollment growth, with these changes taking effect on July 1, 2027.
