H.B. 94-1001 School finance - additional 1993-94 funding - "Public School Finance Act of 1994" - preschool program - transportation aid - appropriation. Provides for an additional increase in 1993-94 equalization program funding for districts due to get funding increases under the new "Public School Finance Act of 1994" that would exceed the districts' spending limitations under section 20 of article X of the state constitution (Amendment #1). Establishes a formula for determining each district's additional increase. Prohibits the increase from being expended in the 1993-94 budget year and requires it to be credited to a special district reserve to be expended in the 1994-95 budget year. Funds the additional increases from state aid with an exception for those districts with property tax revenue carried forward.
Adopts the "Public School Finance Act of 1994" to determine school finance funding for the 1994-95 budget year and budget years thereafter with the following major provisions:
(1) Establishes a district's total program to cover the costs of providing a public education to the children within the district. Continues to allow a district discretion in spending such funds except for requiring specified amounts to be budgeted for certain instructional purposes and for capital reserve and insurance reserve.
(2) Determines a district's total program by giving the district the greater of the district's per pupil funding multiplied by the number of students included in the funded pupil count plus the district's at-risk funding or $3,975 multiplied by the number of students included in the funded pupil count. Caps increases in funding to 25% over the prior year's funding. Establishes a different formula for those districts that received additional increases in 1993-94 funding under the provision noted above. Establishes a different formula for determining total program in the 1994-95 and 1995-96 budget years for any district that would receive less per pupil funding in 1994-95 under the new formula than the district received in the 1993-94 budget year, thus "holding the district harmless".
(3) Establishes a statewide base per pupil funding amount of $3,390 for the 1994-95 budget year.
(4) Determines each individual district's per pupil funding by adjusting the $3,390 statewide base by a cost of living factor and a size factor which reflect differences in costs among districts caused by location within the state and by number of students. Provides for the certification of a cost of living factor for each of the 176 districts by the legislative council based upon the cost of living analysis conducted pursuant to the SB 93-87 setting category study. Provides for a new analysis every 2 years. Establishes a size factor for each district pursuant to a statutory formula. Applies the cost of living factor only to that percentage of the $3,390 statewide base that represents salaries and benefits (the personnel costs factor) with the percentage established for each district in accordance with a statutory formula.
(5) Increases a district's "base funding" by an amount to represent additional costs incurred by a district in providing an educational program to "at-risk pupils". Defines at-risk pupils as those students eligible for the federal free lunch program. Increases the district's per pupil funding by 11% for each at-risk pupil up to the statewide average with the at-risk funding increased in accordance with a statutory formula in any district with a high concentration of at-risk pupils. Caps the per pupil at-risk funding increase to 30% over the district's "base funding".
(6) Provides for an "in-year count" of pupils by counting pupils in October within the budget year. Continues the use of a "funded pupil count" for funding purposes to help reduce the impact on funding caused by declining enrollments.
(7) Establishes the local share of school finance funding as the proceeds of a property tax levy for the district plus the amount of specific ownership tax received by a district which is attributable to all property tax levies of the district other than the levies for bonded debt and additional local property tax revenues ("overrides"). Sets the property tax levy for each district at the prior year's levy, the levy allowed by the Amendment #1 property tax revenue limitation, or the levy required to fund the district's total program minus minimum state aid and specific ownership tax, whichever is lesser. Establishes the state share of school finance funding as the difference between the district's total program and the local share. Gives all districts a minimum state aid amount per pupil to be established each year in the long bill.
(8) Continues to require certain districts to "buy out" their categorical programs with property tax revenue.
(9) Continues to allow a district to exceed its total program through the raising of additional property tax revenue if the district receives voter approval to do so ("overrides"). Increases the maximum amount that may be raised to 20% of the district's total program (as established under the formula and not the "hold harmless" provision) or $200,000, whichever is greater. Includes additional revenuesapproved at elections prior to July 1, 1994, in the calculation of the maximum amount as well as the specific ownership tax attributable to override levies and to bond levies if the tax attributable to the bond levies is not being used to pay off the bonds.
Repeals the "Public School Finance Act of 1988" on July 1, 1994. Moves certain provisions from the 1988 act to the new school finance act with minimal changes.
Provides for the legislative council to conduct a new school finance study during the 1994 interim.
With respect to determining which districts receive payments from the state contingency reserve, requires the state board of education to consider the amount of the request as a percentage of the district's total program no matter the circumstance under which the request is made.
Changes the number of children that may be served under the state's preschool program to 4,500 for the 1994-95 budget year, to 6,500 for the 1995-96 budget year, and to 8,500 for the 1996-97 budget year and years thereafter.
Requires any fee collected by a school district for a specified purpose to be spent only for said purpose and not for any other purpose.
Changes the limitation on school district bonded debt from 20% of assessed valuation to the greater of 20% of assessed valuation or 6% of actual value. Requires the assessor to certify the actual value of property in the district.
Deletes the requirement for state board of education approval of agreements for incentive payments negotiated between school districts and business facilities.
For school districts subject to court-ordered desegregation orders, establishes a minimum transportation aid reimbursement entitlement of 55% of the amount expended for pupil transportation.
Increases the limitation on the amount of tax anticipation notes that may be issued by school districts from 50% to 75% of estimated tax receipts.
Makes an appropriation of $27,631,293 to make additional state aid school finance payments for the 1993-94 budget year. Adjusts the appropriation for state aid school finance payments for the 1994-95 budget year to decrease the appropriation for total program by $1,500,000 and to increase the appropriation for transportation aid by a like amount. Sets aside $2,000,000 of the 1994-95 appropriation for total program to be used to make additional state aid payments that may be required following the certification of pupil enrollments and valuations for assessments.
