An act relating to the calculation of a school district’s long-term membership
This bill changes how Vermont school districts calculate their long-term membership numbers, which are used to determine education funding. It allows districts to use their current year's average daily membership if that number is higher than the average from the previous two years, instead of always using the two-year average. The change also applies to supervisory unions, which can use either their current year's membership or the average of the past three years, whichever is larger. This adjustment takes effect on July 1, 2024, and directly impacts how state funding is distributed to school districts based on enrollment figures.
