The bill eliminates the 0.76% growth factor on school block grants after FY 2011 and retains oil and natural gas production taxes at the state level for school districts whose tax allocation exceeds 150% of the district's maximum or adopted general fund budget. SB 329 will create increased revenue in the state general fund of $11.3 million in FY 2012 and $1.1 million in FY 2013. Section 3 of the bill allows school districts to enter into multidistrict agreements to perform any services, activities, and undertakings of the participating districts. This section also authorizes each participating district to transfer funds into the interlocal cooperative fund from the general fund or any other budgeted fund of the district. Under SB 329, there is no limit on the amount that can be transferred from budgeted funds other than the school district general fund which is limited to the amount of the district's direct state aid (DSA).
Section 5(2), requires the OPI to develop publicly available district educational profiles that include include school district contact information, state criterion-referenced testing results, programs and course offerings, student enrollment and demographic information by grade level, and graduation rates. Section 5(3) requires each school district to annually report to the OPI the number and type of employee positions; compensation paid to each employee; the certification held by the employee and required by the position, student-teacher ratios by grade; the amount spent by the district for operation and maintenance and for debt service; district expenditures per pupil; the total budget for all funds; the total number of students enrolled and average daily attendance; the total amount spent by the district on extracurricular activities and the number of students who participated; and the number of students who entered 9th grade but did not graduate.

Requires oil and natural gas production taxes allocated to a district to be distributed to the district in accordance with section 7 of SB 329. Effective July 1, 2012, establishes a state school oil and natural gas impact account to help counties and school districts that are not receiving oil and natural gas production taxes, but are impacted by oil and natural gas production, defray costs associated with increased school enrollments, teacher shortages, and infrastructure. The balance in the account may not exceed $7.5 million. Any amount in excess of $7.5 million must be deposited in the state general fund.
