HB 1131 changes how South Dakota school districts calculate their general fund base percentage by modifying the definition of "fall enrollment" used to determine state education funding. Specifically, the bill clarifies that nonresident students in state agency care (such as those under the Department of Social Services or Department of Corrections) can be counted in the receiving district's enrollment, and it adjusts which students are subtracted when calculating enrollment numbers. This affects how much state aid each school district receives based on their student population.
