This bill amends AS 14.17.430 to enhance the funding structure for correspondence study programs in Alaska. The new provisions specify that state funding will be calculated by first multiplying the Average Daily Membership (ADM) of the correspondence program by a certain percentage. This amount will then be adjusted by multiplying it by a special needs factor, as outlined in AS 14.17.420(a)(1), and finally, the total will be increased by the amount allocated for intensive services under AS 14.17.420(a)(2).

The bill aims to ensure that funding for correspondence study programs adequately reflects the needs of students requiring special and intensive services. It is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, allowing for a structured approach to funding that aligns with the specific needs of these educational programs.
