South Dakota's school funding formula currently uses a single fall enrollment count (from the last Friday of September) to determine how much state aid each school district receives. This bill changes that to use an average of fall enrollment figures instead, which would smooth out year-to-year enrollment fluctuations when calculating each district's funding needs.
