Postsec. | Requires funding equal to 1994-95 appropriation to be appropriated to the state department annually to offset any reduction suffered by districts due to a change in the distribution of employee contribution funds. Provides that in the event of an EIA revenue shortfall, lapsed funds remaining after EIA purposes must be distributed to districts for funding buildings and exempts EIA appropriations for teacher salaries and benefits from reductions to offset an official EIA revenue shortfall. Requires state board to establish a task force comprised of superintendents, principals, teachers, parents, school board members, and representatives of business and industry, including tourism-related industries no later than July 1, 2002. This task force to the extent possible is to be equally divided among proponents of existing or earlier starting dates for schools, proponents of later starting dates for schools, including proponents for dates after Labor Day, and persons who legitimately have no preferences. Also requires districts to provide advanced placement courses in all secondary schools which enroll an adequate number of academically talented students to support the course. Part II concerns public higher education: Each four-year campus of each state-supported public institution of higher learning must have equal representation on all formal and informal councils, advisory groups, committees, and task forces of the commission. Independent four-year colleges must have representation on all formal and informal committees and commissions dealing with higher education statewide issues. Also addresses instate tuition for certain students. Beginning with school year 2002-2003, the annual amount of a LIFE Scholarship for eligible resident students attending a four-year independent institution must be the cost of attendance up to a maximum of the average annual cost of tuition at the state's four-year public institutions of higher learning in the corresponding academic year. In addition, beginning with school year 2002-2003, eligible resident students attending two-year independent institutions may not receive an annual LIFE scholarship of more than the maximum cost of tuition at two-year regional public institutions for thirty credit hours a year or its equivalent."
