Relating to: per pupil aid. (FE)
AB 611 modifies how state funding for public schools is calculated by changing the formula for per-pupil aid starting in the 2026-27 school year. It directly affects school districts receiving state funding, specifically for students in grades 9-12. The bill requires that each year's per-pupil aid amount equals the previous year's amount plus any positive annual change in a separate funding formula (s. 119.23 (4) (bg) 3) for high school students. This creates an automatic annual adjustment tied to that specific funding change, rather than using a fixed rate.
