Education Budget: July 6, 2009
Information compiled by Jennifer Loredo, AEA lobbyist
2% Inflation Factor
• Fully funds the 2% inflation factor based on the January 2009 revised base support level. (This means that $110 million is added to the base for inflation, but the new baseline amount has been reduced by the $119 million cut made to the education budget on January 31, 2009.)
• Here is the amount of the base level per pupil funding as reflected from the past two school years:
o 2007-08 school year (FY08): $3,226.88
o 2008-2009 school year (FY09): $3,291.42
o 2009-2010 school year (FY10): $3,267.72
(this is the actual base level amount per student that a school district will receive for this next school year). (Note, the budget that was passed and vetoed on July 1, 2009, set this level at $3,201.89; therefore this budget increases this funding by $65.83 per student. However, the amount is $23.70 less per student than districts had at the start of school last year.)
Soft Capital
• Reduces, until October 1, 2009, the basic state aid soft capital budget capacity and budget limits for all school districts by $175 million in FY10 (2009-2010 school year).
Career Ladder
• Until October 1, 2009, a school district with Career Ladder funding is not permitted to exceed the amount that was budgeted for FY09 (the 2008-2009 school year).
Utility Funding
• Until October 1, 2009, a school district is not permitted to adjust its revenue control limit (RCL) in FY10 for actual utility costs.
Desegregation
• Caps, until October 1, 2009, school district desegregation budgets at the FY09 level (the 2008-2009 school year).
Early kindergarten
• Prohibits state aid for the second year of kindergarten if a school district or charter school admits a child to kindergarten, after the effective date of this bill, who has not reached the required age and readmits the child to kindergarten the following school year. Allows the school district or charter school to charge tuition for students who repeat.
