This bill amends AS 14.17.430 to provide a new formula for calculating state funding for correspondence study programs in Alaska. The funding will now be determined by multiplying the Average Daily Membership (ADM) of the correspondence program by a specified percentage, then multiplying that result by a special needs factor, and finally adding the amount allocated for intensive services. This change aims to ensure that funding more accurately reflects the needs of students in correspondence study programs, particularly those requiring special and intensive services.
The bill also establishes an effective date of July 1, 2025, for these changes to take effect. This timeline allows for the necessary adjustments to be made in the funding calculations and ensures that the new provisions are implemented smoothly.
