Summary

The purpose of this bill is to create additional flexibility for school systems in the use of school aid funds and prevent the loss of position funding for the next school year due to employment anomalies affecting the basic foundation calculation. 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. The bill makes necessary related adjustments and addresses issues raised by the Legislative Auditor related to the allocation of instructional personnel at multi county facilities and programs and to the Allowance for Teachers Retirement. The bill also authorizes counties to use up to $200,000 of the formula funds restricted to bus purchases certain facility, equipment and other current expense priorities if requested and approved by the state superintendent. The bill provides for the improvement of instructional technology, from the current 30% growth in local share for Step 7, the bill directs 25% for improving instructional technology, increases the base to be distributed to each county to $50,000 and allows the employment of technology system specialists subject to maximum ratio, but at least 1, if authorized by state superintendent.   .
