Complete·4/16/25

Montana SB35 clarifies enrollment counts for early literacy jumpstart programs.

Montana SB35 amends state education laws to clarify funding and enrollment counts for children participating in early literacy jumpstart programs. The bill specifies that eligible children in these programs should be included in enrollment counts for funding calculations. It also mandates that the superintendent of public instruction pay for the costs of children in home-based programs, up to a limit of $1,000 per child per year. The bill applies retroactively to programs conducted after the 2025 school year.
