AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends Tennessee law to change how education funds are distributed in specific counties. It introduces a new definition for "WFTEADA," which stands for weighted full-time equivalent average daily attendance, calculated based on students whose primary legal residence is within the county. The bill specifically applies to counties that operate a county school system, have at least five special school districts, and where at least one of those special school districts has established a public virtual school. For such counties, the bill limits the apportionment of school funds collected for current operation and maintenance to only those students whose primary legal residence is within that county, excluding funds generated by students who may attend a virtual school but reside elsewhere.
