Rules to support school‑facility funding add data fields showing district of enrollment and in‑person attendance
Summary
Rule language implementing facility funding requirements under House Bill 5521 would add data elements to show which district is responsible for a student and whether a student is physically on campus — information the department will use to allocate facility funds.
State Board staff described a rule change to administrative code that adds data‑collection elements required by last year’s facility funding legislation, cited in the meeting as House Bill 5521.
Matthew Scribe said the facility funding bill conditions certain school facility funds on students attending in person; the rule change adds data elements that will allow the department to identify the responsible district and whether each student is physically on campus. "This is the facility funding bill," Scribe said, summarizing the statute’s intent and the rule’s purpose.
Why it matters: the data will be used to determine district eligibility and counts for facility funding that is tied to in‑person enrollment. Staff said the changes appear in the administration rule under data collection sections and that the department will collect the district responsible for each student and an on‑campus indicator.
Committee members did not take action on the rule during the informational session; staff said they would provide incorporated‑by‑reference links and further materials on request.
