This bill modifies how South Dakota calculates school funding by adjusting the rules for counting students in a district's enrollment and determining how much state aid schools receive. Specifically, it clarifies that students in state agency care (such as those under Department of Social Services custody) are counted in the receiving school district's enrollment, and it revises the formulas used to calculate local effort and state education funding. The changes affect how districts qualify for and receive state education dollars based on their student populations.
