HB 2824: Education funding

Addressing comprehensive funding for education by developing a plan for full funding and by freeing certain existing revenues for support of the basic education program.

Summary

  • Creates a joint task force on education funding that will make recommendations for fully funding basic education programs, including the requirements of Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2261 and Substitute House Bill 2776.
  • Repeals the statutory requirement to provide funding in specified annual amounts for the Student Achievement Program, originally enacted as Initiative 728 (I-728) in 2000.
  • Removes statutory references to the Student Achievement Program and provides that any funding previously dedicated to the Student Achievement Program (from excess lottery funds and the Education Legacy Trust Account) goes toward support of the common schools.
  • Specifies that the levy base is not affected by the repeal of I-728.
