HB24

Montana HB24 clarifies kindergarten enrollment and funding provisions.

Montana HB24 revises education laws to clarify provisions related to kindergarten and specific types of enrollment increases. It modifies the calculation of average number belonging (ANB) for districts offering full-time kindergarten, counting kindergarten enrollment as one-half enrollment. The bill also outlines rules for kindergarten and preschool programs, including the option for half-time enrollment and the addition of early literacy jumpstart program participation to regular enrollment counts.
