| NE | Signed into law 05/2001 | P-12 | Section 16 changes the definition of general fund operating expenditures for purposes of the state aid formula (TEEOSA). The bill provides that general fund operating expenditures will not include retirement incentive plans and staff development assistance. The exclusion of these items from general fund operating expenditures will reduce formula "need". The State Department of Education indicates that the amount of retirement incentive plans and staff development assistance is not a significant amount on a statewide
basis, so the exclusion of these items will result in a minimal decrease in state aid paid to schools.
Section 20 provides that net option funding will be the net number of option students in each grade range times the statewide average cost grouping cost per student multiplied by the weighting factor for the corresponding grade range. Current law provides that net option funding will be net number of option students in each grade range times the lesser of the statewide average cost grouping cost
per student or the local system cost grouping cost per student multiplied by the weighting factor for the corresponding grade range. This change will shift a minimal amount of state aid between school districts. The change means that schools in the standard cost grouping that receive net option funding will receive a higher amount of net option funding since the aid will be based on the statewide average cost grouping cost rather than the local system cost grouping cost. The increase in net option aid will reduce the amount available through the formula as income tax rebate. Since net option funding and income tax rebates are considered to be resources for purposes of determining the overall amount of state aid received, the change will only have a minimal impact on state aid provided to districts that are not receiving equalization aid.

| NM | Vetoed 04/2001 | P-12 | Prior to the 1999-2000 school year, funding for schools was based upon current year membership, and a district that had a growth in membership equal to or greater than 1 percent was allocated an additional 0.05 units for each additional student. With the shift to prior year funding beginning with the 1999-2000 school year, new students do not generate grade or other program units the first year in which they are enrolled. In an effort to address the problem, the 1999 General Appropriation Act included language to increase the growth factor form 0.05 to 1.00 for the 1999-2000 school year and the 2000 General Appropriation Act included a categorical appropriation of $2,554.1 to be distributed to districts with a growth rate of greater than 1 percent for the 2000-2001 school year. According to SDE, the bill would provide a more comprehensive method of recognizing membership growth, which had not been permanently addressed when the shift to prior year funding was enacted.
