HB 1148-FN-LOCAL - FISCAL NOTE
AN ACT relative to certain weighted pupils within the adequate education grant distribution formula.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Education indicates this bill will reduce state education trust fund expenditures and local revenue by $127,400,000 beginning in FY 2000 and each year thereafter. There will be no fiscal impact on state and county revenue or county and local expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department states this bill reduces the number of weighted students in the adequate education cost calculation. Removing the weighting for special education pupils and pupils eligible for free and reduced lunches reduces the amount the state will send to the school districts from the education trust fund by $79 million and $48.4 million, respectively. Calculations were based on current pupil counts.
