Description:
Prior to the implementation of HB3 at the beginning of the 2019-2020 school year school districts received state funding based on prior year values while districts were collecting local revenue based on current year values. This created a difference in what the district was actually earning compared to what they are being paid from the state. This difference, or funding lag, was corrected in a settle up which occurred in September. The passage of HB3 has essentially eliminated the funding lag as state revenue is now based on current year values.
