Ensures sufficient funding for K-12 public education for the 2025-2027 biennium. (BDR S-1232)

SB 500 guarantees state funding for K-12 public schools, charter schools, and programs for profoundly gifted students in Nevada for the 2025-2027 biennium. It sets a per-pupil funding level of $13,889 for 2025-26 and $13,963 for 2026-27, including all state appropriations like base funding and weighted allocations. The bill appropriates $1.4 billion for 2025-26 and $1.38 billion for 2026-27 from the State General Fund, plus additional funds for food services, transportation, and students with disabilities. This directly affects all public school districts and charter schools statewide through mandated funding levels and specific allocation formulas.

The bill was reformatted from a committee draft to its final enrolled version, removing committee-specific headers and explanatory notes while adding the formal state enactment language. The core policy content regarding education funding amounts, fiscal years, and allocation rules remains substantively unchanged.
TECHNICAL

Removed committee-specific headers, dates, and summary notes that were present in the draft version but are not part of the final enacted law.

Added the formal 'The People of the State of Nevada... Do Enact' language required for final legislation.

Reorganized the bill structure to remove line numbers and draft formatting, presenting the text in a clean, final format suitable for publication.
