1 1 Section 1. NEW SECTION. 257.13 ADVANCE FOR INCREASING
1 2 ENROLLMENT.
1 3 1. 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 2. If a district receives an advance under this section
1 12 for a budget year, the department of management shall
1 13 determine the amount of the advance which would have been
1 14 generated by local property tax revenues if the actual
1 15 enrollment for the budget year had been used in determining
1 16 district cost for that budget year. The department of
1 17 management shall reduce, but not by more than the amount of
1 18 the advance, the district's total state school aids otherwise
1 19 available under this chapter for the next following budget
1 20 year by the amount so determined, and shall increase the
1 21 district's additional property tax levy for the next following
1 22 budget year by the amount necessary to compensate for the
1 23 reduction in state aid, so that the local property tax for the
1 24 next following year will be increased only by the amount which
1 25 it would have been increased in the budget year if the actual
1 26 enrollment referenced in this section could have been used to
1 27 establish the levy.
1 28 3. There is appropriated each fiscal year from the general
1 29 fund of the state to the department of education the amount
1 30 required to pay advances authorized under this section, which
1 31 shall be paid to school districts in monthly installments
1 32 beginning on December 15 and ending on June 15 of a budget
1 33 year.
1 34 Sec. 2. EFFECTIVE AND APPLICABILITY DATE. This Act, being
1 35 deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment
2 1 for the purpose of computations required for payment of state
2 2 aid to and levying of property taxes by school districts for
2 3 budget years beginning on or after July 1, 1998.
2 4 EXPLANATION
2 5 This bill provides that if a school district's actual
2 6 enrollment for the budget year, determined under Code section
2 7 257.6, exceeds its budget enrollment for the budget year, the
2 8 school district shall be granted an advance for increasing
2 9 enrollment. The amount of the advance shall equal the school
2 10 district's regular program district cost per pupil for the
2 11 budget year multiplied by the difference between the actual
2 12 enrollment for the budget year and the budget enrollment for
2 13 the budget year.
2 14 The amount received in a given budget year will impact the
2 15 following year's state aid and property tax levels. The
2 16 amount of the on-time funding which would have been generated
2 17 by property taxes if the actual (increased) enrollment figure
2 18 was used in determining the district cost will be calculated
2 19 by the department of management. This amount will reduce the
2 20 level of state aid available to the district for the following
2 21 year, but not by more than the amount received as an advance.
2 22 The district's additional property tax levy for the following
2 23 budget year will then be increased by the amount necessary to
2 24 compensate for the reduction in state aid.
2 25 The bill provides for an annual appropriation from the
2 26 general fund of the state to the department of education to
2 27 pay for the advances, and that the advances shall be paid to
2 28 school districts in monthly installments beginning on December
2 29 15 and ending on June 15 of a budget year.
2 30 The bill includes an effective date upon enactment, and is
2 31 applicable to school budget calculations for budget years
2 32 beginning on or after July 1, 1998.
