| AZ | Became law without governor's signature 06/2002 | P-12 | Requires joint legislative budget committee staff to analyze school district cost data from FY 2000-01 before July 1, 2002 to find the average per-pupil current expenditure for each district for administrative functions and to see if each district predicted per pupil cost level for those functions on the basis of information reported by districts of similar size and type. Requires the auditor general to report to the general assembly before December 1, 2002 on conditions that may explain disparities in administrative costs for districts identified by the joint legislative budget committee as having reported significantly higher or lower average per-pupil current expenditures for administrative functions for FY 2000-01, with emphasis on those districts found to have particularly high or low average per pupil administrative costs for FY 2000-01 but not identified as having had very high or low average per pupil administrative costs for FY 1998-99 and vice versa. The analysis must consider factors that resulted in these districts' reporting unusually high or low average per-pupil administrative costs for just one of the two FYs analyzed.

| CA | Signed into law 05/2002 | P-12 | Modifies 1999 Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program (IIUSP), which formerly required that every participating school district contract with an external evaluator for assistance in development of the school's action plan. Bill allows district to alternatively contract with an entity that has proven, successful expertise specific to the challenges inherent in low-performing schools, including institutions of higher education, county offices of education or school district personnel. Modifies High Priority Schools Grant Program for Low-Performing Schools to automatically approve school for participation upon school's completion of an action plan for participation in the federal program meeting certain requirements that plan for IIUSP participation must meet, and changes deadlines for submission and approval of school action plan during FY 01-02. Increases to $400 the amount of per-pupil money provided under the High Priority Schools Grant Program for Low Performing Schools. Specifies that High Priority Program school must assess pupils' progress with curriculum-based tests proven to be "valid and reliable." Mandates that already-required department study on sustainability of funding for low-performing schools include "(1) An objective rather than a comparative view of the necessity of sustaining supplemental funding over time to address the ongoing needs of low-performing pupils, and the impact of policies that only provide funding over a specified period of time. (2) A description of the ongoing needs of low-performing schools, as identified in needs assessments submitted pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of 52055.620 and the sources of funding schools used to meet these needs. (3) An analysis of the use of funds provided pursuant to this article and the effectiveness of that use in meeting the continued or changing needs of communities served by low-performing schools. This analysis shall include an evaluation of the growth in academic achievement realized by participating schools and the ability of those schools to sustain growth in academic achievement if funding is continued. (4) An assessment of whether local, state, and federal resources are likely to be sufficient to sustain all or some of the academic improvements made in low-performing schools after this state subsidy expires, taking into account prospects for the subsequent pupil population's incidence of poverty and low socioeconomic status." Requires every school district with any schools participating in High Priority Schools Grant Program to submit to state superintendent an analysis of the impact, costs and benefits of the program to the district and local participating schools. Requires the state superintendent to develop and the state board to approve guidelines for an RFP for an independent evaluator to create a multiyear comprehensive evaluation of the implementation, impact, costs and benefits of the program and to release the results of the report to the General Assembly, the Governor and other interested parties. Also specifies that average daily attendance funds are to be allocated to local education agencies and that child care and preschool programs whose average daily enrollment helps determine the allocation must be operated by local education agencies under contract with the Child Development Division of the State Department of Education. Bill modifies means of determining the average daily enrollment of children in preschool and child care programs.

| NE | Signed into law 04/2002 | P-12 | Changes the calculation of state aid to education for 2002-03, 2003-04, and 2004-05. The bill establishes a temporary aid adjustment factor that reduces each local school system's ""need", allocated income tax funds and net option funding by 1.25%. The bill reduces the factors used to compute the stabilization factor and small stabilization adjustment by 1.25%. The lop-off provision is adjusted to reflect receipts from other school districts related to annexation. LB 898 also requires the recertification of 2002-03 state aid before May1, 2002. The state department estimates the general fund fiscal impact of the bill to be a $22,223,160 decrease in state aid in 2002-03. The 1.25% decrease in formula need, allocated income tax funds and net option funding will result in a decrease in state aid for the majority of school systems. A few school systems impacted by the stabilization factors will have little or no decrease in state aid. The statewide average decrease in aid from the amount certified in February 2002 is 3.26%. The bill also allows school districts to exceed the levy limitation with a three-fourths majority vote of the school board by an amount that is the difference between the amount of state aid that would have been provided without the changes made in LB 898. This provision allows school districts at the levy maximum to increase property tax receipts by the amount of the decrease in state aid, if 75% of the board votes to do so. NDE will have a minimal increase in expenditures to certify these amounts to school districts by the required dates. It is assumed the increase in expenditures can be handled with the resources of the agency.
