Cash to Classrooms Act

HR 2836, the Cash to Classrooms Act, prohibits all states from using average daily attendance (ADA) formulas to determine public school funding. This directly affects every public school district in the country, particularly those serving low-income and minority students who often face higher absenteeism rates under current ADA systems. The bill bans states from calculating school funding based on the average number of students present each day over a set period. By eliminating ADA-based funding, the bill aims to prevent disproportionate funding cuts for schools in disadvantaged communities that struggle with absenteeism.
