What’s in it

The amount of state funding for each school district’s approved local program under Code chapter 256C is determined using a preschool budget enrollment that is equal to percent of the actual enrollment of eligible students in the preschool programming provided by a school district on October of the base year. This bill changes the preschool budget enrollment used to determine funding to an amount equal to 100 percent of the actual enrollment of eligible students in the preschool programming provided by a school district on October of the base year. The bill also modifies the funding calculation for the initial school year for which a school district is approved to participate in the program. The bill applies to school budget years beginning on or after July 1, 2026.
