Rhode Island H7454 includes Medicaid enrollment in the student success factor for education aid calculations.

Rhode Island H7454 amends the Education Equity and Property Tax Relief Act to include a student's enrollment in Medicaid in the student success factor for calculating the foundation education-aid formula. This change aims to provide additional support for high-need students starting with the FY 2027 calculation. The bill also mandates the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop a poverty measure to serve as a proxy for poverty status, excluding reliance on school nutrition programs.
