SB 6211: School district levies

Changing the school district levy base calculation.

Summary

  • Increases certain districts' levy bases for purposes of calculating levy authority in calendar year 2005 by an additional per pupil adjustment inflator specified in the budget bill. The increase applies only to those districts with voter approved levies in place for calendar year 2005 by November 1, 2003. The increase does not apply to the calculation of levy equalization.
  • Requires actual direct federal revenues be used in determining each district's levy base.
  • Removes from the calculating for a district's levy base those revenues received by the district as a fiscal agent.
