2005 House Bill 4183

Authorize three-year pupil count

Introduced in the House

Feb. 3, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Tupac Hunter (D-9)

To use a three-year average pupil count to establish the amount of per-pupil state aid for school districts with declining enrollment. Currently, state funding is based on a formula combining current year and prior year pupil counts. Only smaller districts are now allowed to use a three-year average, which increases the amount of funding for declining districts.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
