What This Bill Does
Adjusts state funding formulas for small and mid-sized school districts in Texas, providing additional financial support based on their student enrollment. Districts with fewer than 1,600 students will receive an increased per-student allotment that scales inversely with their size, with special provisions for districts under 300 students that are the sole district in their county. The goal is to help smaller school districts maintain educational quality and financial stability by providing proportionally higher funding as their student populations decrease.
