1 1 Section 1. NEW SECTION. 257.13 ADVANCE FOR INCREASING
1 2 ENROLLMENT.
1 3 If a district's actual enrollment for the budget year,
1 4 determined under section 257.6, is greater than its budget
1 5 enrollment for the budget year, the district is granted an
1 6 advance from the state equal to its regular program district
1 7 cost per pupil for the budget year multiplied by the
1 8 difference between the actual enrollment for the budget year
1 9 and the budget enrollment for the budget year. The advance is
1 10 miscellaneous income to the district.
1 11 If a district receives an advance under this section for a
1 12 budget year, the department of management shall determine the
1 13 amount of the advance which would have been generated by local
1 14 property tax revenues if the actual enrollment for the budget
1 15 year had been used in determining district cost for that
1 16 budget year. The department of management shall reduce, but
1 17 not by more than the amount of the advance, the district's
1 18 total state school aids otherwise available under this chapter
1 19 for the next following budget year by the amount so
1 20 determined, and shall increase the district's additional
1 21 property tax levy for the next following budget year by the
1 22 amount necessary to compensate for the reduction in state aid,
1 23 so that the local property tax for the next following year
1 24 will be increased only by the amount which it would have been
1 25 increased in the budget year if the enrollment calculated in
1 26 this section could have been used to establish the levy.
1 27 There is appropriated each fiscal year from the general
1 28 fund of the state to the department of education the amount
1 29 required to pay advances authorized under this section, which
1 30 shall be paid to school districts in monthly installments
1 31 beginning on December 15 and ending on June 15 of a budget
1 32 year.
1 33 EXPLANATION
1 34 This bill provides that if the actual enrollment of a
1 35 school district exceeds the budget enrollment for the budget
2 1 year, the district can receive an advance attributable to the
2 2 increased enrollment, equal to the regular program district
2 3 cost per pupil for the budget year, multiplied by the
2 4 difference between the actual and budget enrollment figures
2 5 for the budget year. The advance is classified as
2 6 miscellaneous income.
2 7 The advance received in a given budget year will impact the
2 8 following year's state aid and property tax levels. The
2 9 amount which would have been generated by property taxes if
2 10 the actual (increased) enrollment figure was used in
2 11 determining the district cost will be calculated by the
2 12 department of management. This amount will reduce the level
2 13 of state aid available to the district for the following year,
2 14 but not by more than the amount of the advance. The
2 15 district's additional property tax levy for the following
2 16 budget year will then be increased by the amount necessary to
2 17 compensate for the reduction in state aid.
2 18 The bill appropriates the amount necessary to pay the
2 19 advance each fiscal year to the department of education.
