Also requires the 2010 report to include:
(1) Recommendations for a student-centered evidence-based model that uses a per-pupil level of funding to follow a student to the school that best meets the student's individual learning needs
(2) A study of the extent to which current funding for joint vocational school districts and compact and comprehensive career-technical schools is responsive to state, regional and local business and industry needs, and recommendations for revisions to career-technical education programming and funding

(4) The accuacy of the calculation of each component of the funding model, and the model as a whole, in light of current educational needs and practices, and best practices
(5) Options to encourage districts and schools already attaining "excellent" ratings under the state accountability system to go beyond state standards and aspire to higher international norms.

S.F. 445 incorporates Phase II (general salary increases) of the Educational Excellence Program into individual salary schedules and repeals the Educational Excellence Program including elimination of the Educational Excellence Phase I (minimum annual salaries) appropriation and the Phase II set-aside appropriations.
