Virginia lawmakers have given initial approval to a revised funding formula aimed at redistributing state education dollars more equitably across public schools. The proposed changes would shift financial resources toward districts serving higher concentrations of low-income students, English language learners, and students with disabilities. Supporters argue the adjustments reflect long-overdue efforts to address persistent funding gaps, while critics caution about potential fiscal strain on local budgets. The measure now moves to further legislative review before possible final passage.
