HB 1815: School district levy base

Preserving the school district levy base.

Summary

  • Expands school districts' Maintenance and Operations levy base by including the positive difference between the per-pupil general apportionment for the 2009-10 school year (excluding per-pupil fringe benefits) and the district's per-pupil state general apportionment for the prior year (excluding per-pupil fringe benefits), multiplied by the district's average annual prior year enrollment.
  • Excludes from this addition amounts already included in the levy base for the kindergarten through fourth grade staffing ratio enhancement.
