Increasing school district flexibility in expenditure of basic education funding.

SB 6122 increases flexibility for Washington school districts in how they spend basic education funding. It removes requirements that previously mandated specific teacher-student ratios, instructional approaches, or staff classifications, allowing districts to allocate funds based on their actual needs. The bill establishes "prototypical" school models (elementary, middle, high) to calculate base funding levels, but requires adjustments based on each district’s actual student enrollment and grade-level composition. School districts must also report per-pupil funding transparently on their websites, as mandated by the superintendent of public instruction.
