Summary

Part-year adult students count differently for state funding.

This bill changes how adult high school charter programs count attendance for state funding. It touches charter programs that serve adult students and the students who enroll for only part of the school year. A student enrolled for part of the year will now count as attending more days than before, so these programs get more state money for the same students.
