Summary
The purpose of this bill is to create additional flexibility for school systems in the use of school aid funds. The bill moves the basis for calculation the foundation allowances for professional educators and service personnel to an authorized positions ratio, rather than the number employed subject to a limiting ratio. Necessary related adjustments for professional instructional personnel are made and issues raised by the Legislative Auditor are addressed. For funding purposes only, the Treasurer and Director of Child Nutrition are made fundable professional educators. The bill also authorizes counties to use up to $200,000 of the formula funds restricted to bus purchases for facility, equipment and other current expense priorities if approved by the state superintendent. The method for calculating the Allowance for Current Expense is changed from a percentage of salary costs to a state average cost for operations and maintenance per square foot per student. The bill authorizes funds for the improvement of instructional technology to be used for the employment of technology system specialists and allows percentages of both allowances for improving instructional programs and instructional technology to be used for school facility and equipment repair, maintenance and improvement or replacement and other current expense priorities, and for emergencies. The amounts use for these purposes must be included and justified in the respective strategic plans for instructional programs and technology improvement.
