Authority: Title 2.2, Chapter 15 and Chapter 26, Article 8, Code
of Virginia.
A. The Department of Planning and Budget shall be responsible for
continued development and coordination of an integrated, systematic policy analysis,
planning, budgeting, performance measurement and evaluation process within
state government. The department shall collaborate with the Governor’s
Secretaries and all other agencies of state government and other entities as
necessary to ensure that information generated from these processes is useful
for managing and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of state government
operations.
B. The Department of Planning and Budget shall be responsible for
the continued development and coordination of a review process for strategic
plans and performance measures of the state agencies. The review process shall
assess on a periodic basis the structure and content of the plans and
performance measures, the processes used to develop and implement the plans and
measures, the degree to which agencies achieve intended goals and results, and
the relation between intended and actual results and budget requirements.
C.1. Notwithstanding § 2.2-1508, Code of Virginia, or any other
provisions of law, on or before December 20, the Department of Planning and
Budget shall deliver to the presiding officer of each house of the General
Assembly a copy of the budget document containing the explanation of the
Governor’s budget recommendations. This copy may be in electronic format.
2. The Department of Planning and Budget shall include in the
budget document the amount of projected spending and projected net
tax-supported state debt for each year of the biennium on a per capita basis.
For this purpose, "spending” is defined as total appropriations from all
funds for the cited fiscal years as shown in the Budget Bill. The most current
population estimates from the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Services shall be
used to make the calculations.
D.1.a. Out of this appropriation, $200,000 the first year
and $200,000 the second year from the general fund is provided to support the
continuation of the school efficiency reviews program. Any school
division undergoing an efficiency review shall provide a report to the
Department of Planning and Budget indicating what action has been taken on each
recommendation identified in the efficiency review along with any budget
savings realized for each recommendation. The report shall also include a
schedule for implementation of the remaining recommendations not implemented to
date. The Department of Planning and Budget shall forward copies of the
reports to the Chairmen of the House Appropriations, House Finance, and Senate
Finance Committees within 30 days of receiving such reports. The first report
shall be made within six months following the receipt of the final efficiency
review, and subsequent follow-up reports shall be submitted annually by June 30
until 100 percent of the recommendations have been implemented or rationale
reported that explain and address the division’s lack of such
implementation. The Department of Planning and Budget shall provide the
format for such report that shall include budget savings realized for each
recommendation implemented.
2.a. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, each
participating school division shall pay a local share of the cost incurred
by the state for that school division's efficiency review to be conducted. The
local share of cost for the review shall be computed using the composite index
of local ability-to-pay for each participating school division, however, such
share shall not be less than 50 percent of the total cost. However,
consistent with language and intent contained in Item 131, any school division
that elects to participate in a school efficiency review as a component unit of
a division level academic review shall be exempt from the local share of the
costs of the review but will not be exempt from paying a recovery cost of 25
percent if the school division does not initiate at least 50 percent of the
review's recommendations within 24 months of receiving their final school
efficiency review report.
b. Effective for all reviews after July 1, 2013, the local
share payment shall be made prior to the initiation of the review and shall be
based upon the contracted price for the review. All subsequent payments
to recover the local share of the balance of the cost of the review shall be
made in the fiscal year immediately following the completion of the final
school efficiency review report. The cost shall include the direct cost
incurred by the state for that fiscal year to coordinate the school efficiency
review and 100 percent of the costs awarded to the contractor(s) to conduct
that school division’s review.
3. Additionally, commencing in FY 2007, a recovery of a separate
and additional 25 percent payment not to exceed 100 percent of the cost of
individual reviews shall be made in the fiscal year beginning not less than 12
months and not more than 24 months following the release of a final efficiency
review report for an individual school division. Such recovery shall occur
if the affected school division superintendent or superintendent’s designee has
not certified that at least half the recommendations have been initiated or at
least half of the equivalent savings of such efficiency review have been
realized. Lacking such certification the school division shall reimburse
the state for an additional 25 percent of the cost, not to exceed 100
percent of the cost, of the school efficiency review. Such
reimbursement shall be paid into the general fund of the state treasury. The
Department of Planning and Budget shall provide the format for such
certification.
4.a. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, commencing
in FY 2014, any school division may also request the Department of Planning
and Budget to coordinate a school efficiency review for the division, including
but not limited to the selection of the contractor to conduct that school
division’s review, by entering into an agreement with the Department of
Planning and Budget to participate in a locally-funded school efficiency
review. Each participating school division shall pay 100 percent of the
cost of the review. Any division that elects to participate in a
locally-funded school efficiency review shall not be subject to the
availability of state general fund appropriation provided in paragraph D.1
above; however, the number of divisions that could make use of this provision
is limited to the amount of nongeneral fund appropriation provided for this
purpose in this paragraph. A nongeneral fund appropriation of $300,000 the
first year and $300,000 the second year is provided for use by the Department
of Planning and Budget to facilitate the collection of payments from school divisions
for the purposes of this item.
b. Payment shall be made in full from the participating school
division to the Department of Planning and Budget following successful prior
to making the final award of the contract to conduct the review. Under
no circumstances shall state general fund appropriation be used to pay the
costs of contracts awarded for a locally-funded school efficiency review under
the provisions of paragraph D.4.a above.
