This bill amends AS 14.17.430 to establish a new funding formula for state centralized correspondence study programs and district correspondence programs in Alaska. The funding will be calculated by first multiplying the Average Daily Membership (ADM) of the correspondence program by a specified percentage. The resulting figure will then be multiplied by a special needs factor, and finally, the total for intensive services will be added to this amount.
The bill aims to enhance financial support for special needs and intensive services within correspondence study programs, ensuring that these programs receive adequate funding based on the specific needs of their students. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
