The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding small school adjustments for common school districts in Arizona. Under the new provisions, a common school district would be eligible for a small school adjustment in fiscal year 2025-2026 if it meets specific criteria: it must be located in a county with a population between 200,000 and 210,000, have a student count of more than 125 but fewer than 150 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, and maintain an average daily membership of 125 or less in the current year. This eligibility is a significant update to the existing law, which does not specify these conditions.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that would repeal these eligibility modifications on January 1, 2027, effectively limiting the adjustments to a single fiscal year. This repeal clause is a new insertion that would not be present in the current law, which does not have a specified expiration for such adjustments. Overall, the bill aims to provide targeted financial support to small school districts that meet the outlined criteria while establishing a clear timeline for the applicability of these adjustments.
