Summary

**What it does:** This bill would change how the federal government calculates funding amounts for two types of grants that go to local school districts under Title I of federal education law - "targeted grants" and "education finance incentive grants." **Who it affects:** - Local school districts across the country - Students in schools that receive Title I funding (typically schools with higher percentages of low-income students) - State education departments that distribute these funds **What would change:** The bill would modify the mathematical formulas ("weights") used to determine how much money each school district receives from these federal grant programs. Depending on the specific changes, some districts might receive more funding while others might receive less. The overall goal of Title I - supporting schools with disadvantaged students - would remain the same, but the distribution method would be adjusted. The bill is currently being reviewed in congressional committee.
