School aid: membership; requirements concerning counting pupils in membership; modify for pupils enrolled in certain work-based learning experiences. Amends secs. 6 & 11 of 1979 PA 94 (MCL 388.1606 & 388.1611) & adds sec. 61e.

HB 4082 modifies how Michigan school districts count students enrolled in work-based learning programs (like internships or apprenticeships) for state funding purposes. It adjusts the "membership" calculation - used to determine school aid - so these students are properly counted in the district where they receive their primary education, rather than being excluded due to their off-site learning. This change directly affects school districts, public school academies, and students participating in approved work-based learning experiences. The bill amends existing school aid law to ensure these students contribute to membership counts for funding, aligning with the state's goal of fair resource allocation.
