relative to allowing school districts to approve different apportionment methods for school administrative unit costs.

This law allows school administrative units to choose different ways to calculate how much money each member school district contributes to their shared budget. Currently, districts must use a specific formula, but under this new rule, they can select an alternative method as long as every participating district agrees to it. The change gives local school leaders more flexibility in managing finances while ensuring that any new calculation method is approved by all involved districts before it is used. The law became effective on October 1, 2024.
