IN RE:
HB194 by Ashby (Relating to the small-sized district adjustment under the Foundation School Program.), As Introduced
The bill would gradually increase the small district multiplier applicable to school districts having fewer than 1,600 students and encompassing less than 300 square miles until the multiplier is equal to that provided for school districts with fewer than 1,600 students that encompass 300 or more square miles. About 57% of the additional revenue produced through the increased adjustment would flow to districts in the two lowest quintiles of property wealth per weighted student beginning in FY20.
