HB1131 modifies how South Dakota school districts calculate their general fund base percentage by updating the definition of "fall enrollment" used in education funding formulas. The bill clarifies that nonresident students in state agency care (such as those under the Department of Social Services or Department of Corrections) can be counted in a district's fall enrollment, and it adjusts which students are excluded when subtracting tuition-receiving students from the enrollment count. These changes affect how much state education funding certain school districts receive.
