| NE | Signed into law 03/2011 | P-12 | From the fiscal note: Repeals the section of statute requiring a student achievement coordinator at NDE. The
general fund savings from eliminating the position will be $103,420 in FY12 and FY13.
Increases teacher and administrator certificate fees from $55 to $70 with increases to provide for the expenses of 1.6 FTE at NDE who investigate alleged violations of professional ethics and practices by educators. Transfers funds remaining in the School District Reorganization Fund on July 1, 2011to the Education Innovation Fund. The balance of the reorganization fund was $702,178 on December 31, 2010. NDE anticipates there will be an additional reorganization that will be eligible for reimbursement from the fund in the current year in the amount of $425,915. So, the projected revenue that will be transferred to the Education Innovation Fund is estimated to be slightly in excess of $276,300, depending upon the interest earned the remainder of the fiscal year.
Education Innovation Fund: The bill changes the allocation of the Education Innovation Fund beginning in FY2011-12 through
FY2015-16. The fund is derived from lottery proceeds. Current law provides for the first $1 million of the fund to be used for the
Excellence in Teaching Act and the remainder to be allocated, after administrative expenses, for distance education equipment and
incentives provided to school districts and educational service units.
Provides for the accumulated balance and annual revenue of the Education Innovation Fund to be used to fund a couple of
existing state aid programs for high ability learners and early childhood education grants. The high ability learner program will be funded with lottery funds for five years and early childhood education grants will be shifted to this fund source for two years. The Center for Student Leadership and Extended Learning Act, a state funded program, is also switched to lottery funding for the next five years as is the multicultural education program. An integrated student information system will also be funded by the
Education Innovation Fund. Continues funding for distance education equipment, incentives and administration but instead of $1 million being set aside for this program each fiscal year, the bill provides that only the amount necessary to fund loans for students who received a loan in the prior fiscal year through the Attracting Excellence to Teaching component of the program will be funded.
