relative to the calculation of average daily membership in attendance and average daily membership in residence for certain home educated pupils.
This bill updates how New Hampshire calculates school funding for home-educated students who take public high school courses. It specifies that each home-educated student enrolled in a board-approved public course from grades 7 through 12 will count as 0.15 of a student for funding purposes. The change affects school districts and municipalities by adjusting the average daily membership counts used to distribute state education funds. The law applies to students legally residing in the state and is effective starting September 1, 2024.
