NEW SECTION. 257.14A ON-TIME FUNDING 1 7 FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION. 1 8 Commencing with the budget year beginning July 1, 1 9 2000, if a school district's additional enrollment 1 10 because of special education determined by the 1 11 district on December 1 in the budget year is greater 1 12 than its additional enrollment because of special 1 13 education determined by the district on December 1 in 1 14 the base year, the school district is entitled to on- 1 15 time funding from the state in an amount equal to its 1 16 district cost per pupil for the budget year multiplied 1 17 by the district's increase in additional enrollment 1 18 because of special education. The additional funding 1 19 shall be miscellaneous income. 1 20 For the purpose of this section, a school 1 21 district's additional enrollment because of special 1 22 education is determined by multiplying the weighting 1 23 for each category of child under section 256B.9 times 1 24 the number of children in each category totaled for 1 25 all categories minus the total number of children in 1 26 all categories. 1 27 If a district receives additional funding under 1 28 this section for a budget year, the department of 1 29 management shall determine the amount of the 1 30 additional funding which would have been generated by 1 31 local property tax revenues in proportion to the 1 32 amount of funding actually received pursuant to this 1 33 section, if the additional enrollment because of 1 34 special education in the budget year had been used for 1 35 that budget year in determining combined district 1 36 cost, shall reduce, but not by more than the amount of 1 37 the additional funding, the district's total state 1 38 school aids available under this chapter for the next 1 39 following budget year by the amount so determined, and 1 40 shall increase the district's additional property tax 1 41 levy for the next following budget year by the amount 1 42 necessary to compensate for the reduction in state 1 43 aid, so that the local property tax for the next 1 44 following year will be increased only by the amount 1 45 which would have been increased in the budget year if 1 46 the additional enrollment because of special education 1 47 in the budget year could have been used to establish 1 48 the levy. 1 49 There is appropriated for the fiscal year beginning 1 50 July 1, 2000, and each succeeding fiscal year, from 2 1 the general fund of the state to the department of 2 2 education, the amount required to pay on-time funding 2 3 authorized under this section, up to a maximum of 2 4 thirteen million dollars annually, which shall be paid 2 5 to school districts in the same manner as other state 2 6 aids are paid under section 257.16. If the amount 2 7 appropriated is insufficient to provide the full 2 8 amount of on-time funding, the payments to school 2 9 districts shall be prorated such that each school 2 10 district shall receive an amount of on-time funding 2 11 equal to the percentage that the on-time funding to be 2 12 provided to the school district bears to the total 2 13 amount of on-time funding to be provided to all school 2 14 districts." 2 15 #2.
