The installments shall be as 1 33 nearly equal as possible as determined by the department of 1 34 revenue and finance, taking into consideration the relative 1 35 budget and cash position of the state's resources. The 2 1 department of revenue and finance shall pay the approved 2 2 budget amount for the department of human services from the 2 3 moneys appropriated under section 257.16 and the department of 2 4 human services shall distribute the payment to the 2 5 institution.

Programs may be provided during the summer and funded 2 27 under this section if the institution determines a valid 2 28 educational reason to do so and the department of education 2 29 approves the program in the manner provided in subsection 1. 2 30 Sec. 4. Section 282.28, Code 2003, is repealed. 2 31 Sec. 5. FY 2003-2004 FUNDING. For purposes of providing 2 32 funding for educational programs provided to children residing 2 33 in an institution for children under the jurisdiction of the 2 34 director of human services referred to in section 218.1, 2 35 subsection 3, 5, 7, or 8, the institution providing such 3 1 programs to children residing in the institution shall submit 3 2 an estimated proposed program and budget based on the 3 3 estimated average daily attendance of children who will likely 3 4 be provided educational programs during the fiscal year 3 5 beginning July 1, 2003, and ending June 30, 2004, to the 3 6 department of education and the department of human services 3 7 by August 1, 2003. The department of education shall review 3 8 and approve or modify the proposed program and budget and 3 9 shall notify the department of revenue and finance of its 3 10 action by September 1, 2003. The department of revenue and 3 11 finance shall pay the approved budget amount, and the 3 12 department of human services shall distribute payments, as 3 13 provided in section 282.33. 3 14 EXPLANATION 3 15 This bill modifies the procedures for authorizing and 3 16 funding educational programs provided to children residing in 3 17 institutions under the jurisdiction of the director of human 3 18 services, specifically the mental health institutes at 3 19 Cherokee and Independence, the state training school at 3 20 Eldora, and the Iowa juvenile home at Toledo. 3 21 The bill requires the institution in which a child resides 3 22 to submit to the department of education a proposed program 3 23 and budget for approval or modification. Once a proposed 3 24 program and budget are approved, the department of revenue and 3 25 finance is directed to pay the approved budget amount in 3 26 monthly installments to the department of human services, 3 27 which will distribute the payments to the appropriate 3 28 institutions. Adjustments will be made to subtract or add to 3 29 the October payment in the following year if costs were 3 30 greater or less than proposed. 3 31 Currently, the funding for the programs is derived from an 3 32 appropriation made to the department of human services, though 3 33 the area education agencies provide the Iowa juvenile home and 3 34 the state training school with services under Code section 3 35 282.28, which the bill repeals. Under the bill, funding for 4 1 the education programs will come from the moneys appropriated 4 2 for school foundation aid. 4 3 For FY 2003-2004, the bill compresses the deadlines and 4 4 requires the institutions to provide to the department of 4 5 education, and the department of human services, an estimated 4 6 proposed program and budget based on the estimated average 4 7 daily attendance of children who will likely be provided 4 8 educational programs during the fiscal year. 4 9 LSB 2016HV 80 4 10 kh/pj/5
