3 2 EXPLANATION
3 3 This bill provides for the inclusion of nonpublic school
3 4 pupils in the enrollment count for special education support
3 5 services funding determination. Currently, special education
3 6 support services funding is based upon the public school
3 7 weighted enrollment multiplied by a special education support
3 8 services cost per pupil amount. To facilitate the inclusion
3 9 of nonpublic school pupils, the bill provides for the
3 10 calculation of a new state and district special education
3 11 support services cost per pupil. The bill provides that for
3 12 the school budget year beginning July 1, 2000, the approved
3 13 budgets for the area education agencies for special education
3 14 support services for that budget year shall be divided by the
3 15 total weighted enrollment of public and nonpublic school
3 16 pupils to establish new state and district cost per pupil
3 17 amounts for special education support services. The bill
3 18 provides that for the school budget year beginning July 1,
3 19 2001, and succeeding budget years, the new state and district
3 20 cost per pupil amounts shall be utilized as base year amounts
3 21 to which the special education support services allowable
3 22 growth for a budget year shall be applied. The bill adds a
3 23 provision to Code section 257.6 providing that weighted
3 24 enrollment for special education support services costs is
3 25 equal to the weighted enrollment for public and nonpublic
3 26 school pupils minus the additional pupils added due to the
3 27 application of the supplementary weighting, and that each
3 28 school district shall include in the third Friday in September
3 29 enrollment report the number of nonpublic school pupils within
3 30 each school district for special education support services
3 31 served by the area.
