EDUCATION – Amends and repeals existing law to revise provisions regarding student funding to provide for per-student funding.

H 279 revises Idaho's education funding system to shift toward a per-student model based on current enrollment numbers, moving away from previous funding methods. It establishes a weighted formula that allocates additional state funds for students with specific needs, such as those from low-income households (economically disadvantaged) or English language learners. These changes apply directly to public school districts and charter schools receiving state education funds from the Public School Income Fund. The bill modifies existing code to implement these adjustments to how funding is distributed, though it does not fully replace the current system.
