What This Bill Does

Modifies funding calculations for adult high school charter programs by adjusting how student attendance is counted. Under the new rules, students will receive higher attendance credits based on their enrollment duration, which means schools can receive more funding for students who stay enrolled longer. The changes incentivize adult education programs to retain students and provide more comprehensive educational support, potentially increasing opportunities for adults to complete their high school education.
