§ 41301 Small District Funding Allocation

Key Takeaways

  • •Money is given to schools based on how many kids show up every day.
  • •Small schools get extra money if they have fewer kids.
  • •The money amounts go up a little bit every year to keep up with costs.
  • •Different parts of the money are used for different school needs, like basic help or special programs.

Example

A small elementary school has 500 kids showing up every day. The school gets extra money because it’s small.

The school gets $26.95 for each kid because it has fewer than 901 kids. So, 500 kids × $26.95 = $13,475 extra for the school.
