PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 257.20, subsection 1, Code 1995, is 1 2 amended to read as follows: 1 3 1. In order to determine the amount of instructional 1 4 support state aid and the amount of local funding for the 1 5 instructional support program for a district, the department 1 6 of management shall divide the total assessed valuation in the 1 7 state by the total budget enrollment for the budget year in 1 8 the state to determine a state assessed valuation per pupil 1 9 and shall divide the assessed valuation in each district by 1 10 the district's budget enrollment for the budget year to 1 11 determine the district assessed valuation per pupil. The 1 12 department of management shall multiply the ratio of the 1 13 state's valuation per pupil to the district's valuation per 1 14 pupil by twenty-five hundredths and subtract that result from 1 15 one to determine the portion of the instructional support 1 16 program budget that is local funding. The remaining portion 1 17 of the budget shall be funded by instructional support state 1 18 aid.However, for the budget year beginning July 1, 1992,1 19only, the amount of state aid is three and one-quarter percent1 20less than the amount computed under this paragraph for that1 21budget year.1 22 Sec. 2.

Beginning with school budget years commencing July 1, 1 29 1995, school districts shall receive additional state aid 1 30 based upon the number of at-risk pupils enrolled in a public 1 31 school in the district. Each school district shall assist the 1 32 department in identifying the number of at-risk pupils and the 1 33 number shall be reported by the department to the department 1 34 of management by October 1 of each budget year. For purposes 1 35 of identifying at-risk pupils, the department shall use the 2 1 primary and secondary risk factors specified in 281 IAC 65, 2 2 rules 4 and 5, and other risk factors that the department, 2 3 with the approval of the department of management, shall 2 4 specify. 2 5 2. The amount of additional state aid a school district 2 6 shall receive for a budget year equals the product of one- 2 7 tenth of one percent of the district cost per pupil for that 2 8 budget year multiplied by the number of at-risk pupils 2 9 identified and reported pursuant to subsection 1. 2 10 There is appropriated from the general fund of the state to 2 11 the department of management for each fiscal year an amount 2 12 sufficient to pay the additional state aid to school districts 2 13 under this section. The additional state aid shall be paid, 2 14 to the extent possible, in the manner provided in section 2 15 257.16, commencing with the October 15 payment. Aid received 2 16 by a school district under this section shall be miscellaneous 2 17 income. 2 18 Sec. 5. This Act, being deemed of immediate importance, 2 19 takes effect upon enactment for computing state aid for school 2 20 budget years beginning on or after July 1, 1995. 2 21 EXPLANATION 2 22 During the 1992 Session, laws were enacted that reduced the 2 23 amount of state aid to be paid under the instructional support 2 24 program of a school district by 3.5 percent and also, for 2 25 subsequent years, limited the appropriations to that which was 2 26 appropriated in 1992-1993 fiscal year. This bill eliminates 2 27 the freeze on the appropriation and returns the appropriation 2 28 for the instructional support program to a standing unlimited 2 29 appropriation. 2 30 The bill also provides for additional state aid for school 2 31 districts with at-risk pupils enrolled in public schools 2 32 within the school district. The amount of aid equals .1 2 33 percent of the district cost per pupil times the number of at- 2 34 risk pupils. 2 35 The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to school 3 1 budget years commencing on or after July 1, 1995. 3 2 LSB 1969HC 76 3 3 mg/cf/24
