SF 393: Relating to meetings of the school finance formula review committee

Became SF 484 · Its progress continues under the new number.

What it does

Legislative review of the school finance formula under Code section 257.1(4) is required to occur at least every five years. The review last occurred during the 2019 legislative interim and the next review must occur during or before the 2024 legislative interim. In order to review and address the disparities between rural and urban school districts, the availability of on-time funding for school districts, and the difficulties facing school districts following the COVID-19 pandemic, this bill requests the legislative council to approve the meeting of the school finance formula review committee during the 2023 legislative interim.
