This bill modifies how South Dakota calculates a school district's general fund base percentage by adjusting the definition of "fall enrollment" used in education funding formulas. The change clarifies that students in state agency custody (such as those under Department of Social Services or Department of Corrections care) can be counted in a district's fall enrollment, which affects how much state aid the district receives. This ensures districts receive appropriate funding based on their actual student population, including students placed there by state agencies.
