The bill raises the floor used to fund very small K-12 school districts from 130 students to 200 students. Any K-12 district with fewer than 200 students in average daily attendance that has at least 90 students, or sits 30 or more bus miles from the nearest high school district, gets state basic allotment money as if it had 200 students.
