Bill > HB2717

This bill amends existing law to change how funding is allocated for highly capable students, ensuring they receive equal opportunities. Specifically, it modifies the calculation for funding these programs by basing it on the number of eligible students enrolled in highly capable programs, multiplied by the district's per-student allocations for general education, staff, and operating costs, and then by a factor of 0.0383. This replaces the previous method which allocated funding based on a percentage of basic education enrollment and a set number of instructional hours per week.
