MS Student Funding Formula; bring forward.
This bill is procedural, moving existing definitions and formulas for Mississippi's school funding system to new sections in the code. It references specific terms like "base amount," "net enrollment," and "weighting" that determine how state funds are distributed to school districts. The bill does not change funding amounts or mechanisms - it only reorganizes the legal references for the current student funding formula. This is a technical update to the statute, not a policy change.
