Providing enrollment stabilization funding.
SB 6125 provides enrollment stabilization funding to Washington school districts, charter schools, and tribal schools if their state funding for the 2026-27 or 2027-28 school years drops below what it would have been using 2025-26 enrollment data. The bill requires the state superintendent to calculate and pay the difference (the "stabilization amount") when current funding falls short of projected funding based on prior enrollment. This funding covers all state education allocations, including general funding, special education, learning assistance, and career programs, but cannot be used to replace basic education funding. The program expires on July 1, 2028.
