Establishes an enrollment stabilizer mechanism within the public school support plan to smooth year-to-year enrollment fluctuations.

The bill establishes an enrollment stabilizer mechanism within the public school support plan to smooth year-to-year enrollment fluctuations. It aims to provide greater predictability and stability in county board budgets and staffing. The mechanism uses the greater of actual net enrollment, a percentage of the prior year's enrollment, or a three-year rolling average. Additionally, it includes a rural stability add-on for qualifying counties experiencing significant enrollment volatility. The state board may adjust the percentage floor or provide additional stabilization.
