An act relating to pupil weighting for small schools and sparse school districts

This bill proposes changing how Vermont calculates funding for small schools and sparse school districts by excluding students who do not attend schools operated by the district from pupil weighting calculations. The key provision modifies the weighted long-term membership formula used to determine state education funding, specifically targeting districts classified as small or sparse. By removing non-district students from these counts, the legislation aims to adjust how much state funding these specific school districts receive based on enrollment numbers. The change directly affects school districts in Vermont that meet the criteria for small school or sparse district classifications.
