This bill amends current law regarding supplementary weighting for school districts that share operational functions, specifically focusing on the role of school resource officers. It modifies Section 257.11 by increasing the supplementary weighting assigned to school districts that share the operational functions of a school resource officer from two pupils to four pupils. Additionally, the bill clarifies that a school district sharing operational functions in various areas, including superintendent management and business management, will receive supplementary weighting based on the specific functions shared.

The changes will take effect on July 1, 2026, for school budget years beginning on or after that date. The intent of the bill is to provide additional funding to enhance student opportunities and redirect resources towards student programming in districts that engage in shared operational functions with political subdivisions.
