What’s in it
AI summary Starting July 1, 2021, school districts and area education agencies will not lose funding if their student enrollment numbers drop compared to the previous year. The state will adjust their budget numbers to match what they received in 2020 to ensure their funding stays the same. This rule applies to basic enrollment as well as special education, preschool, and other weighted student counts.1
Read the official explanation
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. Similarly, for the budget year beginning July 1, 2021, if a school district’s additional enrollment because of special education, weighted enrollment added due to supplementary weighting, or preschool budget enrollment is less than the applicable corresponding amount for the budget year beginning July 1, 2020, the department of management is required to adjust the district’s additional enrollment because of special education, weighted enrollment added due to supplementary weighting, or preschool budget enrollment, as applicable, to equal the corresponding amount for the budget year beginning July 1, 2020.37. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
