This bill proposes amendments to the Code of West Virginia regarding the calculation of the school aid formula, specifically focusing on net enrollment at alternative and year-round schools. It introduces a new definition for "net enrollment," which will now include a provision for calculating full-time equivalent enrollment funding for year-round and alternative placement schools. This calculation will be based on the annual date of maximum enrollment for the school year, multiplied by one and one-half times the number of students enrolled.

Additionally, the bill makes several deletions to existing language, including the removal of certain provisions related to the calculation of net enrollment for counties with low student populations. The amendments aim to streamline the funding process for schools by ensuring that the enrollment figures accurately reflect the maximum attendance throughout the school year, thereby providing a more equitable distribution of state aid to various educational institutions.
