Ending School Funding Based on Student Attendance

This bill aims to change how public schools are funded. It prohibits states from basing school funding on the average daily attendance of students. This change is intended to help schools, especially those serving disadvantaged students who often have lower attendance, receive more stable financial support.
Key points
States will no longer be allowed to fund public schools based on average daily student attendance.
The change aims to provide more stable funding for schools serving low-income and minority students, who often face higher absenteeism rates.
This could help schools better manage resources and support students, regardless of attendance fluctuations.
