HF 266: Relating to school district and area education agency enrollments and school district weighting for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, and including effective date provisions

What it does

For purposes of calculating school district funding under Code chapter 257, a school district’s budget enrollment for a budget year is the basic enrollment for that budget year, which is equal to the school district’s actual enrollment (headcount) for the base year (preceding budget year). This bill provides that for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, if a school district’s budget enrollment is less than the school district’s budget enrollment for the budget year beginning July 1, 2020, the department of management, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, is required to adjust the district’s budget enrollment to equal the budget enrollment for the budget year beginning July 1, 2020.
