Nonresident Online School Amendments

HB 268 modifies Utah's school funding rules for students attending nonresident districts, specifically exempting online schools from payment requirements. It directly affects school districts that enroll students from other districts in online programs, as resident districts will no longer be required to pay the usual per-student funding adjustments for these students. The bill amends Utah Code 53G-6-405 to explicitly exclude online schools from the payment formula (previously applied to nonresident enrollments) and makes technical adjustments to the existing rules. This change takes effect July 1, 2025, with no new state funding allocated.
