Panel reviews rule changes to collect student‑level data for school facility funding (HB 5521)
Summary
State Board staff explained proposed data‑collection rule edits required to administer facility funding under House Bill 5521, including adding reporting fields for the responsible district and whether students are physically on campus.
State Board of Education staff told the House Education Committee they will add data elements to administrative rules to implement school facility funding requirements enacted in House Bill 5521.
Matthew Scribe said the facility funding statute requires districts to document whether students are attending in person to qualify for facilities dollars and that the rule changes add specific data fields. "This is the facility funding bill...it stated, in order to get these school facility funds, your the kids in your school district must be going in person," Scribe said, explaining the rationale for collecting information about whether a student is physically on campus and the responsible school district for each student.
The draft rule adds fields to improve the department's ability to allocate facility funds by confirming which district has responsibility for a student and whether that student is attending in‑person or virtually. The presentation was informational and no committee votes were taken; staff said they will supply additional materials and incorporated references to assist legislative review.
