Rhode Island S2226 includes Medicaid enrollment in the student success factor for education aid calculations.
Rhode Island S2226 amends the Education Equity and Property Tax Relief Act to include a student's enrollment in Medicaid in the student success factor for calculating foundation education aid. This change aims to provide additional support for high-need students beyond the core instruction amount, starting with the FY 2027 calculation. The bill also mandates the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to develop a poverty measure that accurately reflects student poverty status and to submit reports on the use of funds and compliance with education aid provisions.
