MODERATE

The bill renumbered the section from 25.0319.01000 to 25.0319.02000 and added new provisions for adjusting school district baseline funding when districts convert to elementary status. These changes affect how state aid is calculated for districts that become elementary districts after the 2012-13 school year, ensuring funding reductions are proportional to the loss of higher-grade students.

Scope change

The bill now applies to school districts that convert to elementary status after the 2012-13 school year, with specific funding adjustment rules starting in the 2020-21 school year.
