| 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.

| NE | Signed into law 02/2011 | P-12 | Fiscal Note summary: LB 18 amends the Tax Equity and Educational Opportunities Support Act (TEEOSA) which is the formula used to distribute state aid to education. Increases the needs calculated for school systems from 100% to 102.23% in the current school year, FY2010-11. The amount of aid received by a school is the difference between calculated needs and formula resources. The formula is changed to increase state aid to include one-time allocations from the federal Education Jobs Fund in FY2010-11.
Federal funds expended pursuant to the bill are considered to be general fund operating expenditures for purposes of state aid. The
funds are to be allocated to schools on the last business day of April. School districts are not required to revise previously adopted
budgets for FY2010-11 unless expenditures are increased in FY2010-11 with the additional state aid received per LB 18.
The bill also changes the certification date for state aid for two fiscal years. The aid certification date for aid distributed in the current
fiscal year is changed to on or before March 1, 2011. The subsequent year's state aid for FY2011-12 is to be certified on or before July 1, 2011. The State Department of Education estimates the formula change will increase state aid to schools by $58,610,740 in FY2010-11. Increased expenditures by school districts result in increased state aid two years later per the state aid formula. However, any future general fund fiscal impact of the one-time allocation of federal funds is dependent upon whether increased funds are used by schools to spend at a higher level or are used to offset revenue shortfalls. This fiscal note assumes the majority of schools will be using the proceeds to offset decreases in other resources, so no future fiscal impact is projected.

| CA | Signed into law 01/2010 | P-12 | Adds Chapter 18 (commencing with Section 53100) to the Education Code. Numbers below relate to new section numbers.
53100: For purposes of implementing the federal Race to the Top program, (1) authorizes the state superintendent and president of the state board to enter into a memorandum of understanding with a local education agency (LEA), and (2) directs participating LEAs to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the state superintendent and president of the state board.
53101: Directs the governor, state superintendent and state board to develop one or multiple plans to submit as part of a Race to the Top application. Requires that the plan address how the Race to the Top program funds and any other applicable federal funds will be used to provide resources to the low-achieving and persistently lowest-achieving schools as defined in statute, and provides that these resources may include professional development, technical assistance, and partnering with schools that have successfully transitioned from low- to higher-performing status. Provides legislative intent that funding for LEAs be the highest priority in the allocation of Race to the Top program funds.
53102: By January 2011, directs the state superintendent to contract for an independent evaluation of the implementation and impact of the state plan submitted in application for a federal Race to the Top Fund grant award. Requires that the legislative, governor and state board be provided an interim report by June 2012, and a final report by June 2014.
53201: Defines "low-achieving school" as any Title I school in improvement, corrective action or restructuring. Defines "persistently lowest-achieving school" as meeting any of a number of criteria. Some of these criteria include: the lowest 5% of low-achieving schools as measured by proficiency on NCLB assessments in reading/language arts and math; any secondary school eligible for but not receiving Title I funds that is in the lowest 5% as measured by proficiency on NCLB assessments in reading/language arts and math; and any of either such school (or any high school in improvement, corrective action, or restructuring) that has had a graduation rate below 60% in each of the previous three years.
53201.5: Requires the state superintendent to notify a local governing board, or governing body of a charter school, if any school in its jurisdiction has been identified as a persistently lowest-achieving school.
53202: Provides that for purposes of implementing the federal Race to the Top program, a local board must implement for any persistently lowest-achieving school the turnaround model, the restart model, school closure, or the transformation model (as described in Appendix C of the Notice of Final Priorities, Requirements, Definitions, Selection Criteria for the Race to the Top program published in Volume 74 of Number 221 of the Federal Register on November 18, 2009). Provides an exception. Establishes a hearing process for any school subject to an intervention prior to selection of an intervention. Establishes parameters to allow a school implementing the turnaround or transformation model to participate in a school-to-school partnership program by working with a mentor school that has successfully transitioned from a low-achieving school to a higher-achieving school. (Higher-achieving school must either have exited Program Improvement under NCLB, or increased (in statewide Academic Performance Index rankings) by two or more deciles over the last five years, using the most recent data available.) Requires the principal and, at the principal's discretion, the staff of a mentor school to provide guidance to a persistently lowest-achieving school to develop a reform plan, and provide guidance on how the mentor school transformed the culture of the school from low-achieving to higher-achieving and how that transformation could be replicated at the school implementing a turnaround or transformation model. To the extent such funds are available, requires the mentor school to receive federal funds for serving as a mentor school; as a condition of receipt of funds, requires the mentor school's principal (and staff, at the principal's discretion), to meet regularly with the assigned persistently lowest-achieving school for at least three years.
53203: Directs regional consortia to provide technical assistance and support to LEAs with one or more persistently lowest-achieving schools in implementing any interventions for persistently lowest-achieving schools. Identifies 11 areas that such technical assistance may address, including:
(1) Identifying staff recruitment and retention strategies
(2) Identifying strategies to provide increased instructional time
(3) Implementing professional development activities identified in the state's Race to the Top proposal
(4) Developing a new governance structure, which may include establishment of a turnaround office in the LEA or the department, that a school implementing the turnaround model
will report to
(5) Developing social-emotional and community-oriented services (including parental involvement strategies)
(6) Identifying, reviewing, and recommending quality charter school operators, charter management organizations, or education management organizations that can operate a persistently lowest-achieving school
(7) Identifying higher-achieving schools in the district, including charter schools, to relocate pupils attending a school that is scheduled for closure
(8) Developing a rigorous, transparent and equitable teacher and principal evaluation system that includes student growth data and other factors such as multiple observation-based assessments that all schools implementing the turnaround or transformation model may use
(9) Identifying strategies to identify and reward school leaders, teachers, and other staff who, in implementing the transformation model, have increased pupil achievement and high school graduation rates and have identified and removed those, who, after ample opportunities, have been provided for them to improve their professional practice, have not done so
(10) Identifying and approving mentor schools
(11) Consistent with the collective bargaining agreement, assisting an LEA in:
(a) meeting federal guidelines that encourage the state to ensure that persistently lowest-achieving schools are not required to accept a teacher without mutual consent of the teacher and principal, regardless of the teacher's seniority.
(b) Implementing schoolsite-based teacher hiring decisions
(c) Giving persistently lowest-achieving schools first priority in selecting from the qualified district applicant pool, among those teachers who have specifically applied to work at the school.

| CA | Signed into law 01/2010 | P-12 | Adds that further purposes of state longitudinal data system are (1) to allow the state to publicly report data, as specified by the federal America COMPETES Act and as required by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and (2) to ensure that any data access provided to researchers, as required by the federal Race to the Top regulations and guidelines is provided, only to the extent that the data access is in compliance with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974.
Existing law requires the department of education to submit an expenditure plan to the department of finance detailing any administrative costs to the department and costs to any local educational agency, if
applicable, of retaining data elements required for compliance with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. New provision requires the appropriate postsecondary agencies also to submit such an expenditure plan. Adds provision that, to enable the department and two- and four-year public institutions in the state to meet federal ARRA requirements, these entities must be authorized to obtain quarterly wage data, effective July 2010, on students who have attended their respective systems, to assess the impact of education on the employment and earnings of those students, to conduct the annual analysis of district-level and individual district or postsecondary education system performance in achieving priority educational outcomes, and to submit the required reports to the legislature and the governor.

| KS | Adopted 05/2006 | P-12 | Memorializes the President and Congress to make a serious commitment to improving the quality of the nation's public schools by substantially increasing its funding for the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the Higher Education Act, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and other educational related programs.
Requests that the President, U.S. Congress and U.S. Department of Education offer the various states waivers, exemptions or whatever flexibility is possible regarding the requirements of the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, in any year that federal funding for public K-12 education is decreased to prevent states from spending state and local resources on activities that have not proven effective in raising student achievement and may not be the priority of an individual state.
Encourages other states to pass similar resolutions. Directs the secretary of state to send an enrolled copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education and each member of the Kansas legislative delegation.

| NM | to governor 03/2003 | P-12 | HJM 13 states that New Mexico and other western states face funding conditions exacerbated by projections that public school enrollment will increase in the western states while declining in the rest of the nation; that despite wide disparities in expenditures per pupil and pupil-per teacher ratios western states tax themselves at a rate comparable to other states and allocate as much of their budgets to public education as do the other states; that the ability of a western state to fund public education is directly related to the amount of federal land within the state; that a federal policy change ended the sale of federal lands and resulted in a corresponding loss of proceeds to western states; that the ability of New Mexico and other western to fund public education is affected by the fact that state and local property is significant; that land transferred to the western states as trust is difficult to administer and make productive because it is often surrounded by federal land; that the federal government should compensate western states for the significant impact of federal land; that an initiative to increase the level of education revenue in the 13 western states including New Mexico, has been established by the Utah Legislature; and that a resolution urging the United States Congress to compensate western states for the impact of federal land ownership for state education has been endorsed by the council of state governments.
