HB 193 Standards of Quality in public schools; apportionment of state and local share.
Introduced by: Richard H. Black | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Standards of Quality; apportionment of state and local share. Directs the General Assembly, in apportioning the state and local share for the costs of meeting the Standards of Quality, beginning July 1, 2004, in any year in which general fund revenue growth is at least three percent greater than population and inflation growth combined for the previous year, to increase the state share by three percent of the total costs, so that, by full implementation of this measure, the local share shall not exceed 65 percent and the state share shall be equal to at least 35 percent of the total costs in each division.
Such increases in the state share shall be granted to those school divisions whose local share is greater than or equal to 65 percent of the total costs in any fiscal biennium.
The per pupil costs of providing such required educational programs for school divisions whose local share as of July 1, 2003, was less than 65 percent of the total costs shall be the same as their final per pupil amount for fiscal year 2004.
Until such time that no school division's local share exceeds 65 percent, no school division shall receive additional state funding for reductions in enrollment; however, funding may be adjusted to (i) ensure that the school division's final per pupil amount remains at the fiscal year 2004 level; and(ii) address inflation and the biennial recalculation of the costs of providing an educational program required to meet the Standards of Quality, as provided in the appropriation act.
