| WY | Adopted 10/2008 | P-12 | These emergency rules amend the existing rules related to the school foundation program. The emergency rules provide additional definitions for terms used throughout the rules. The emergency rules add a new section 8 which provides a process for a school district to apply to the department of education for a modification of a school's grade configuration. The emergency rules amend the process for attendance taking by the schools and require that attendance be taken every period in middle schools, junior high schools and high schools. The emergency rules provide regulations for the calculation of average daily membership for distance education students and require that school districts choose one of three methods of calculation of average daily membership for all part-time students. The emergency rules provide for the adjustment of prior school year average daily membership if a new school opens, a district changes boundaries, a school's grades served are reconfigured or a district moves programs and students from one school to another. The emergency rules require certain data from the school facilities commission and provide a method for the calculation of groundskeeper full time employee resources based on the lesser of actual site acreage or school facilities commission guidelines except for certain land acquired on or before July 1, 1997. http://legisweb.state.wy.us/ARULES/ER08-23.htm

Provides for school employee background checks, budgets, classroom placement of twins, bullying, scholastic records, educational support, early learning programs, virtual high schools, charter schools, school transportation, educational empowerment districts, community colleges, educational improvement business tax credits, public records, libraries and special education.
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
The 2008-09 education budget invests $86.4 million in Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts, a 15 percent increase from 2007-08, to enable 800 more children to participate in the commonwealth's hallmark, voluntary pre-kindergarten initiative and to respond to parents' requests for more full-day enrollment opportunities among some of the existing half-day programs.
CLASSROOMS FOR THE FUTURE
The budget includes $45 million for technology and $15 million for professional development to continue the multi-year rollout of Classrooms for the Future.
SCIENCE: IT'S ELEMENTARY
The effort to promote science learning in elementary schools will receive $14.5 million – a 7.4 percent increase – in 2008-09, enabling thousand of more students to benefit from this hands-on learning experience and be ready for higher-order science classes in middle and high school.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
Pennsylvania's Dual Enrollment program is designed to serve a wide-range of students, but particularly those who attend college at disproportionately low rates. The budget continues the $10 million in annual funding for Dual Enrollment, which allows high school students to take college courses through community colleges and four-year colleges and universities. By encouraging the participation of students who might otherwise be unlikely to attend college, the Dual Enrollment program helps ensure all students have the opportunity to earn a post-secondary degree and become self-sufficient, productive taxpayers.
HIGHER EDUCATION
The budget continues to invest in the commonwealth's higher education institutions to offer affordable and accessible post-secondary education in Pennsylvania. State funding for student tuition grants through PHEAA will increase by $21.2 million, or 5.5 percent. The state's community colleges will receive a 3 percent operating increase. An additional $14.5 million will be provided to the State System of Higher Education to keep down tuition increases.

| NE | Signed into law 04/2008 | P-12 | From the fiscal note:
Basic Funding: The bill changes the computation of the needs component of the state aid formula beginning in 2008-09. Instead of
using cost groups as the primary basis to calculate need, the bill establishes comparison groups for each school district to determine
the amount of basic funding. The comparison group for a school district is the next five larger districts and the next five smaller districts
in size based upon the number of formula students. Basic funding is determined by first subtracting allowances to determine adjusted
general fund operating expenditures. Then, for schools with less than 900 formula students, the basic funding for the district becomes
the average of the adjusted general fund operating expenditures of the comparison group of school districts, omitting the high and low
districts from the calculation. Basic funding for schools with 900 or more formula students will be based on average adjusted general
fund operating expenditures per student for the comparison group, excluding the high and low districts.
The change from using cost groups to comparison groups for purposes of calculating basic funding will result in an estimated $16
million decrease in the needs calculation in 2008-09 due to the exclusion of the high and low spending school districts in the
comparison groups. The change in needs for any school district depends upon the relative spending of the district to the spending of
other school districts in a comparison group. The calculated amount of needs for the basic funding component of the formula is about
$2.1 billion.
Formula Students: The calculation of formula students is changed to reduce the number of formula students by .5 for each student
enrolled in less than full-day kindergarten. Formula students is also changed to include 60% of the qualified early childhood education
fall membership. The formula currently weights early childhood educations students at .06. The changes will alter the number of
students used in the formula to calculate state aid. Districts not offering full-day kindergarten will have a lower number of formula
students. Changes in formula students shift need between school districts.
General Fund Operating Expenditures: The definition of general fund operating expenditures (GFOE) is changed to include
expenditures for summer school. GFOE is also redefined to exclude receipts to the general fund to the extent the receipts are not
included in formula resources from early childhood education tuition, summer school tuition, converted contracts, distance education
courses, private foundations and other private sources, the textbook loan program, federal impact aid, and transfers from the general
fund to a bond fund and transfers from other funds into the general fund. Beginning in 2010-11, GFOE will also exclude the proceeds
of levy override elections. Any changes in GFOE as a result of the inclusion of summer school as an expenditure and the exclusion of
the other items as expenditures changes total needs in the formula. The changes decrease formula needs by $34.1 million in 2008-09.
Cost Growth Factor: The bill changes the cost growth factor which is used to increase general fund operating expenditures in the
formula. The component in the cost growth factor for enrollment growth is eliminated as is the growth due to a board vote. The cost
growth factor in the 2008-09 certification of state aid is 1.078. The bill changes the factor to 1.06, based upon the current allowable
growth rate. The change in the factor reduces the amount of formula need by $37.9 million in 2008-09.
