This legislative session the main school funding bill is House Bill 15 (HB 15). Currently, HB 15 passed a second reading in the House and is providing an inflationary increase of 2.7% for fiscal year 24 and a 3.0% increase for fiscal year 25.

However, schools cannot rely on these funds for operational expenses. As I discussed in a prior article, a recent...
