| TX | Adopted 10/2012 | P-12 | From Texas Register: Adds provisions to reflect the agency's current practice for determining full-time-equivalent (FTE) counts for special education, bilingual education, and career and technical education allotments for school districts and charter schools in which the total enrollment contains 5.0% or more students who have certificates of eligibility in the state's migrant student tracking database. For each such district or charter school, directs the commissioner of education to calculate annual FTE as used in the calculation of the special education, bilingual education, and career and technical education allotments by using the best four of the six-week periods for each of the three FTE counts. Provides that in no case may the annual FTE count exceed the sum of the number of students who have certificates of eligibility plus the FTEs calculated by using all six six-week periods. Adopted as published in the July 27, 2012 Texas Register (pages 12-13 of 47): http://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/pdf/backview/0727/0727prop.pdf

| CA | Signed into law 09/2012 | P-12 | From bill summary: Under the California Constitution, whenever the legislature or a state agency mandates a new program or higher level of service on any local government, including a school district and a
community college district, the state is required to provide a subvention of funds to reimburse the local government, with specified exceptions. Existing law, commencing with the 2012–13 fiscal year, requires that certain funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act for reimbursement of the cost of a new program or increased level of service of an existing program mandated by statute or executive order be available as a block grant to school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education to support specified state-mandated local programs and permits those entities to elect to receive that block grant funding in lieu of claiming
mandated costs pursuant to the state claims process.
This bill adds specified state-mandated local programs to the set of programs for which a school district, charter school, or county office of education may elect to receive a block grant, including, among others, an interdistrict attendance permits program. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_1001-1050/sb_1028_bill_20120926_chaptered.pdf

Revises the method for calculating ADM from one that relies on counting the total enrollment of students on four dates each year to one that counts the total enrollment of each school day through the first 100 or 200 days in session, as applicable. Specifies that high school students are classified as either full-time or fractional students based on the number of classes they take, each of which, if taught each school day for the minimum number of days required in a school year, would meet for a minimum of 123 hours per year, or the equivalent.
Adjusts the transportation support level to provide additional support to school districts that elect to offer 200 days of instruction, rather than 180.

| CT | Signed into law 05/2012 | P-12 | (Sec. 34) Defines an alliance district as a town whose school district is among those with the lowest academic performance as measured by a district performance index (DPI) the bill establishes. For FY 13, the bill requires the education commissioner to designate 30 alliance districts. Districts keep the designation for five years. The commissioner must determine, by June 30, 2016, whether to designate additional alliance districts. Also establishes a subcategory of alliance districts called "educational reform districts," which are the 10 districts with the lowest DPIs. Defines how DPI is calculated.
Requires the state comptroller to hold back any Education Cost Sharing (ECS) grant increase over the prior year's grant that is payable to an alliance district town in FY 13 or any subsequent fiscal year. The comptroller must transfer the money to the education commissioner. An alliance district may apply to receive its ECS grant increase when and how the education commissioner prescribes. The bill allows the commissioner to pay the funds to the district on condition that they are spent according to its approved district improvement plan (see below) and guidelines the bill allows SBE to adopt. Requires any balance of the conditional ECS funds allocated to each alliance district that remains unspent at the end of any fiscal year to be carried over and remain available to the district for the following fiscal year. Alliance districts must use their conditional ECS funding to improve local achievement and offset other local education costs the commissioner approves. To be eligible to receive the funds, a district must submit an application to the commissioner that must contain objectives and performance targets as well as an improvement plan with specified inclusions.allows the commissioner to withhold conditional funding if an alliance district fails to comply with the bill's requirements and renew the funding if a district's school board provides evidence that the district is meeting the objectives and performance targets of its plan. Districts receiving conditional funding must submit annual expenditure reports in a form and manner the commissioner prescribes. The commissioner must determine whether to require a district to repay amounts not spent in accordance with its approved application or reduce the district's grant by that amount in a subsequent year.

| ID | Became law without governor's signature 03/2012 | P-12 | Provides for 97% average daily attendance (ADA) funding protection for Idaho school districts. This is important because school districts must make teacher contract offers by
no later than July 1st, before they know how many students will show up for school at the end of summer. The bill would allow school districts that lose more than 3% of their students, year over year, to continue receiving state funding as if the district only lost 3% of its students. The ADA-driven loss of funding would "catch up" the following school year, since this protection feature would reset to 97% of the lower ADA count. However, the school district would know this in advance, and could reduce staffing between school years accordingly. http://legislature.idaho.gov/legislation/2012/H0603.pdf
