The bill modifies the definition of "average daily membership" (ADM) in Wyoming's school finance law. Specifically, it changes the threshold for considering a pupil as full-time from attending at least eighty percent (80%) of a full-time equivalency basis to seventy-five percent (75%). Additionally, for pupils enrolled on a less than full-time basis, the bill requires school districts to calculate their contribution to the ADM on a prorated basis, using the hours or class periods of enrollment as the numerator and the hours or class periods of full-time equivalency as the denominator.

The changes will take effect for the school year 2025-2026, with the law becoming effective on July 1, 2025. This adjustment aims to provide a more inclusive definition of full-time enrollment, potentially impacting funding and resource allocation for schools in Wyoming.
