| GA | Adopted 11/2009 | P-12 | Renames rule (previously titled "School District Contracts for Flexibility and Accountability to Improve Student Achievement") to "Investing in Educational Excellence (IE2): Local Education Agency Contracts for Flexibility and Accountability". Amends rule, which allows local education agencies (LEAs) to request increased flexibility from certain state laws in exchange for increased accountability and defined consequences. Repeals provision that allowed contracts to be renewed beyond the initial five-year term (for up to five additional years) if a district's performance met the contract goals. Adds section on public input and transparency. New section requires local boards, prior to approving local plans for submission to the state board, to notify the public regarding the LEA's intent to seek such a contract with the state, and to hold a public hearing providing an opportunity for public input on the strategic plan and proposed contract, including on the LEA' s flexibility requests and performance goals, and their impact on each school. Also requires that a public hearing be held if the LEA chooses to amend the terms of an existing contract or seek additional flexibility. Clarifies that the Governor's Office of Student Achievement's (GOSA) monitoring of districts regarding progress toward intermediate and five-year goals must be on an annual basis. Directs the GOSA to present annual written progress reports to the state board of education for each Investing in Educational Excellence contract. http://www.doe.k12.ga.us/_documents/doe/legalservices/160-5-1-.33.pdf

| UT | Signed into law 03/2009 | P-12 | Enacts a definition of "educational facility" in Utah municipal code.

Establishes new requirements for impact fees collected on or after May 12, 2009. Requires each local political subdivision and private entity, before imposing impact fees, to prepare a capital facilities plan to determine the public facilities required to serve development resulting from new development activity. Adds that the written analysis for each local political subdivision and private entity intending to impose an impact fee must (1) identify the anticipated impact on or consumption of any existing capacity of a public facility by the anticipated development activity (2) identify the anticipated impact on system improvements required by the anticipated development activity to maintain the established level of service for each public facility and (3) estimate the proportionate share of the costs for existing capacity that will be recouped.
Revises the specified costs and factors that a local political subdivision or private entity, in analyzing whether the proportionate share of the costs of public facilities are reasonably related to the new development activity, must evaluate. Requires impact fee enactments to include a provision authorizing the local political subdivision or private entity, as the case may be, to adjust the standard impact fee at the time the fee is charged to respond to a request for a prompt and individualized impact fee review for the development activity of the state or a school district or charter school.
Authorizes a local political subdivision or private entity to include a provision in an impact fee enactment that provides an impact fee exemption for development activity attributable to the state, a school district or charter school.
