This article addresses the changes to funding for the state of Montana in FY2023. Funding priorities include assistance for school leaders, early childhood education, and teacher recruitment and retention. There were no changes to the funding formula, as Montana operates on a biennium and changes occurred the year prior. Montana was awarded $1.25 billion as part of the CARES Act, as relief for COVID-19 funding. The total per pupil expenditure varies based on school configuration and can be found in the article under the heading, “Per Pupil Expenditure.” The overall FY2023 budget for education is $1,096,286,212.

This article is a brief summary and update of the public school funding in the state of Missouri for FY2022. The state of Missouri funds education through a foundation model. The largest funding item in the Missouri general budget is K–12 education. In 2018, the state budget fully funded the formula for the first time. The funding formula is multifaceted, including the following four components: weighted average daily attendance, state adequacy target, dollar-value modifier, and local effort. These four items are used to calculate the total state funding for K–12 education. Missouri ranks 32nd in the nation in K–12 student spending when combining local, state, and federal funding sources.

This report about Indiana school funding relates to budgetary changes in the state’s school funding priorities and technical changes to its state aid to schools formula. Pressing issues that affect school funding as well as public policy dimensions of alternatives to traditional public schools are considered. The most pressing need for the schooling system that is mediated by the school funding program remains increasing the labor market supply of highly credentialed teachers. The most evident public policy trend is the continuing expansion of free market-based school choice options.

The equity of Maryland’s P–12 education formula has long been scrutinized and challenged in court. Changes to Maryland’s P–12 funding formula occurred following a successful legislative override during the 2021 session following the governor’s 2020 veto of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future Act. The new P–12 formula includes 13 categories: Foundation Aid, Transportation Aid, Compensatory Education Aid, English Learner Aid, Special Education Aid, Guaranteed Tax Base Aid, Comparable Wage Index Aid, Post College and Career Readiness Pathways Aid, Concentration of Poverty Aid, Transitional Supplemental Instruction Aid, Prekindergarten Aid, and Career Ladder Aid. Funding formula changes were implemented in FY2023, following delays in reporting and the COVID-19 pandemic. No changes were made to higher education funding formulas. The state allocated $7.3 billion for P–12 education in FY2022, 15.2% of the state budget. The state allocated $4.8 billion for higher education in FY2022, 7.9% of the state budget. FY2023 allocations for higher education will include a $59.5 million settlement for Maryland’s historically Black colleges and universities.

Alaska’s FY2022 budget priorities for education remained unchanged, with funding for P–12 education in first place and the University of Alaska system in fourth. In addition to funding, Alaska directed the creation of new literacy programs, allowed opportunities for State–Tribal Education Compact Schools, and established a separate fund in the treasury to protect funds for the university system. A change to the funding formula for P–12 was realized in an increase in Base Student Allocation for FY2023, the first increase since FY2017. Alaska faces pressing issues with shortages of teachers and housing, as well as the high costs of goods and services across the state.

Primary and secondary education Ohio public school funding for FY2022 and FY2023 is estimated at $11.4 billion in FY2022, the first year of the state’s biennium budget (a $518.7 million increase), and is estimated at $11.65 billion in FY2023, the second year of the state budget (a $255.6 million increase), representing approximately $1.3 billion in new state spending during the biennium. The General elief Fund (GRF) portion of these appropriations is $8.27 billion in FY2022 and $8.45 billion in FY2023. This represents growth of $389.9 million, or 4.9%, in FY2022, and another $175.5 million, or 2.1%, in FY2023. Lottery appropriations exceed $1.3 billion in both fiscal years. State education spending in this biennium represents the largest commitment of state appropriations. Much of this money is distributed through a new foundation funding formula.
