Bill > SB158

This bill amends how school districts calculate their enrollment for state aid by introducing "spring enrollment" and "annual enrollment" as new terms. "Spring enrollment" is defined as the number of students on the second Friday of January, and "annual enrollment" is the greater of the fall and spring enrollments. The bill also updates the "target teacher ratio factor" and "local need" calculations to use this new "annual enrollment" instead of the previous "fall enrollment." Additionally, it modifies the "general fund base percentage" calculation to also use "annual enrollment." These changes aim to provide a more comprehensive and potentially more accurate measure of a school district's student population for the purpose of distributing state funding for general education.
