The proposed bill would amend section 15-975 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the distribution of state, county, and federal funds to joint common school districts. The bill introduces new language that clarifies the treatment of the territory of a joint common school district as separate entities within each county for funding purposes. Specifically, it replaces the term "such" with "the" to enhance clarity in the statute.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for maintaining records of student counts and attendance. It removes the phrase "as" from the current law, streamlining the language, and specifies that student enrollment and attendance information must be submitted electronically to the superintendent of public instruction, without the previous stipulation of a specific format. Overall, these updates aim to improve the clarity and efficiency of the funding process for school districts.
