HB 2776: K-12 education funding

Regarding funding distribution formulas for K-12 education.

Summary

  • Sets forth in statute numeric values in the prototypical school funding formula adopted in 2009, for average class size, allocations of building-level staff, supplemental instruction for categorical programs, central office administration, and allocations for maintenance, supplies, and operating costs (MSOC), all to take effect September 1, 2011.
  • Requires that allocations for class size in grades K-3 be phased in to provide for a class size of 17.0 by the 2017-18 school year.
  • Requires an increase in MSOC allocations to be phased in to a total of $1,082.76 per full-time equivalent student by 2015-16, plus adjustment for inflation.
  • Requires continued incremental phase-in of full-day kindergarten with statewide implementation by 2017-18.
  • Implements a new funding formula for pupil transportation in the 2011-13 biennium and phases-in funding under that formula with full implementation by 2013-15.
  • Changes timelines for technical working groups on compensation and local finance and puts the Compensation Working Group under the lead direction of the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, rather than the Office of Financial Management.
