This bill reenacts and amends RCW 28A.150.260 to define how the state distributes basic education instructional allocations. It prescribes a prototypical school model (elementary 400 AAFTE K–6, middle 432 AAFTE 7–8, high 600 AAFTE 9–12), minimum average class sizes by grade bands, enhanced class size reduction funding for two laboratory science classes per high school FTE, specified career and technical education (CTE) class sizes, per‑student materials/supplies/operating amounts, and minimum staff‑unit allocations for many building and district staff types. The superintendent of public instruction must publish state per‑pupil allocations for general apportionment and listed categorical programs on the office web page, school districts must link to that report, and the legislature’s omnibus operating appropriations act must report statewide average per‑pupil allocations and supply many of the detailed funding parameters. The change is primarily a substantive and procedural amendment to the school funding formula and related administrative rules rather than a criminal or penalty provision. It adds funding and staffing allocation rules, requires OSPI rulemaking (including limits on K–3 class size funding tied to demonstrated actual class sizes and limits on certain support staff allocations tied to actual staff‑to‑student ratios), requires OSPI to require specific uses and data collection for increased allocations to paraeducators and office support in 2024–25, and directs the omnibus appropriations act to set CTE FTE amounts, high‑poverty and specialty class size parameters, and other details. It also establishes program‑specific allocations and minimum resource targets for the Learning Assistance Program, high‑poverty supplemental allocations, transitional bilingual instruction (including allocations for students who have recently exited bilingual programs), and highly capable programs; requires CTE courses to be OSPI‑approved; provides for excess‑cost enhancements for students with disabilities; mandates a biennial review of the distribution formula by the superintendent and governor; defines district enrollment and FTE counting rules; and requires the Office of Financial Management to review reported FTE counts monthly. The provided text is incomplete in places: subsection (8)(c) is cut off, the omnibus appropriations act is repeatedly referenced but its specific amounts and factors are not included, some parenthetical numeric values next to staff allocations are unexplained, and several referenced subsections and factors are not contained in the extracted facts. These omissions mean certain implementation details and any additional provisions in the remainder of the section are not available in the materials provided.

If enacted, the bill sets a detailed, formula-driven way the state will allocate basic education dollars: it ties money to prototypical school sizes and specific minimum class sizes, guarantees per-student operating amounts for categories like technology and curriculum, and creates minimum staff-unit allocations for many school roles. Districts are likely to see clearer, category-specific funding for learning assistance, high-poverty schools, transitional bilingual services, highly capable students, career and technical education, and enhanced support for students with disabilities, but some of those dollars will only be provided to the extent a district can demonstrate actual staffing ratios (notably K–3 class size funding and certain physical/social/emotional support staff). OSPI must publish user-friendly per-pupil allocation reports and adopt rules that limit or prioritize allocations (including a 2024–25 requirement that extra funding for paraeducators, office support, and noninstructional aides be used to add staff, prevent layoffs, or raise salaries), and OFM will review monthly FTE reports, so districts will face new reporting and documentation responsibilities and potential funding adjustments based on demonstrated staffing and FTE counts. The most affected parties are OSPI (new rulemaking, reporting, and data collection duties), school districts (changes in how much funding they receive by category, new linking/reporting duties, and constraints on how some increases can be used), specific student groups (high‑poverty, bilingual, highly capable, CTE students) who will see more clearly defined resource targets, and many school staff roles that are singled out for minimum allocations and prioritized hiring. Important implementation details are missing from the provided text — notably many omnibus appropriations act specifications (adjustment factors, inflation indexing, and certain dollar amounts) and the end of a truncated subsection — so the precise dollar impacts, adjustment mechanisms, and some operational rules remain uncertain.
