SB 1526 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

small school adjustments; district eligibility

SB 1526 adjusts eligibility criteria for small school funding adjustments in Arizona for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It allows common school districts in counties with 200,000-210,000 residents to qualify if they serve 125-150 K-8 students with an average daily membership of 125 or fewer. The bill specifies these three conditions to determine district eligibility for funding adjustments under existing law. It expires after December 31, 2026, and applies directly to qualifying small school districts meeting all three population and student thresholds.
