House Bill 226 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, concerning education funding by modifying the weighted allocation for students in certain local education agencies (LEAs). Specifically, it designates the existing subdivision (5) of Section 49-3-105(b) as subdivision (6) and introduces a new subdivision (5) that establishes a three percent (3%) weighted allocation for students residing in LEAs with a membership between 1,001 and 1,250.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of adjusting funding mechanisms to better support LEAs of this size. This change aims to ensure that educational resources are allocated more equitably based on student population sizes.
