SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Study; school board fiscal authority. Requests the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) to examine the impact of granting fiscal autonomy to local school boards in the Commonwealth. In conducting its study, JLARC is to consider, among other things, current state constitutional and statutory provisions governing school board fiscal authority and school funding; school board fiscal authority models in other states; the use and proportions of various revenue sources for public education costs in Virginia; potential mechanisms addressing a potential grant of such fiscal authority, including local referenda, voter approval for increases, and the appropriate apportionment of taxing power for school boards of cities and counties; and such other issues as it deems appropriate. JLARC is to submit its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the 2002 Session of the General Assembly.
