Bill Summary

For legislation relative to school funding. Education.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the formula used to calculate the required minimum local contribution for school funding in municipalities with a population of 6,000 or less. Specifically, it would exclude data regarding the highest 5% and lowest 5% of property values and resident annual income from the calculations for these smaller municipalities. This change is intended to provide more accurate and equitable school funding for smaller communities.
