School districts will now use an average of fall enrollment figures (instead of a single snapshot) when the state calculates how much education funding each district receives. This change affects how the state determines each district's "local need" for funding under South Dakota's school finance formula, potentially smoothing out enrollment fluctuations throughout the school year.
