More materials funding for Washington schools

Effective September 1, 2025, Washington's school funding formula provides $1,614.28 annually per full-time equivalent student. Districts also receive $214.84 per full-time equivalent student in grades 9–12. These totals include increases of $35.27 and $4.69, respectively, that districts must spend only on materials, supplies, and operating costs. Starting in 2026–27, both allocations are adjusted annually for inflation using the previous calendar year's implicit price deflator. The money goes to school districts, not directly to families.
