Student Transportation: Overview • Governor’s Budget Proposal. • What the numbers mean to you. • How the money will be distributed. • System Changes.
Student Transportation:Budget Proposal • Funding System. • The Good News • Commitment to implement in 2011-12. • The Other News • Source of additional funding is a result of a major restructuring of the bus replacement system.
Student Transportation: How Much? • Figures are in the pivot table. • Depreciation estimate for next year • Current system. • Governor’s proposal. • Lots of assumptions • Underfunding for current year. • Bus prices.
Student Transportation:2011-12 Operations Allocation • Pay at 2010-11 amount until February. • Adjustment for new calculation process. • Adjustment for amount of funding available. • No recalculation after the Spring report.
New Transportation Funding Model: Transition Process • Hold harmless • No one gets less than 2010-11. • Additional Funding • Estimate based on the amount of funding available from the change in depreciation. • Best guess is districts would receive about 1/3 of their underfunding in 2009-10.
New Transportation Funding Model: OSPI Rules Status • Initial rules hearing was December 8th. • OSPI in process of reviewing language • Reword several sections in response to comments and concerns. • Will schedule another hearing on revisions.
Student Transportation:System Changes • Bus Replacement System • May result in unintended consequences. • Maintenance Costs. • Fleet Modernization. • Regional Coordinator Program Eliminated • Would eliminate training and support for the new funding system. • School bus driver training, Management training, WSP inspection process, etc.
Governor’s Supplemental Cut of National Board Bonuses • Governor’s across the board cut of 6% is still in effect. • Districts should continue to claim their bonuses. • OSPI will allocate funding on a first come first serve basis . • When Governor repeals the 6% cut, OSPI will pay out the rest of the bonuses to districts who have submitted claims up to the total appropriation authority.
K-4 Class Size & Highly Capable Retroactive Elimination • Governor Proposals cuts programs starting in September. • If adopted by Legislature, OSPI will adjust district apportionment payments to reflect cuts. • OSPI will transfer Highly Capable program to General Apportionment in order to then make adjustments to district apportionment.
2011-13 Proposed Governor’s Budget: Reduced Programs * Working on Calculation
Levy Equalization 2010-2011 School Year • The Governor’s supplemental request continues to current levy equalization model but makes a reduction of 6.3% or $18 million. • The impacts to local districts are shown on the SAFS 2011 Supplemental Budget website under the “across the board 6.287%” link. Across the Board Cuts by School District
Levy Equalization 2011-2013 • The Governor’s 2011-13 biennial request equates to a reduction of 6.3%. • New “Four Tier” Model with property poor districts receiving the smallest reduction in LEA. • Over 300% above state average = 1% cut. • 175% to 300% = 3% cut. • 125% to 175% = 5% cut. • 100% to 125% = 28.75% cut.
Levy Equalization 2011-13 • No specific changes in levy base calculations were proposed. • Reductions in K-3 this year will not reduce the levy base. • Levy Equalization continues to be calculated based on 14%. • The Per Pupil Inflator in the Governor’s budget is 3%.
Ed Jobs • Ed Jobs Funding • $208K Total. Allocation by district is on our website. • The Legislative Special Session directed that these funds will be deducted from General Apportionment.
Ed Jobs • Deductions will be made over five months - January through May. 20% will be deducted each month. • Amount will be reflected on your 1191 Report on Line C.9 – “Adjustment for Prior Year.” • Levy Base – Uses the total Guaranteed Entitlement from Line A.14. Levy base would not double count Ed Jobs funds discreetly since it is included in Line A.14.
Apportionment Delay • Governor’s Supplement proposes that $253,000,000 of the June Apportionment payment will be delayed until July 1st. • $13 million set-aside for financial assistance to “cash poor districts” to be administered by OSPI.
Financial Assistance Loans • Two discreet amounts in the Governor’s Supplemental Budget: • $15 million for district-needed assistance due to budget cuts. • $13 million for district due to Apportionment payment delay.
Financial Assistance Loans • Monies provided are an advance on Apportionment to be repaid by June 2012. • Process of application is expected to be similar to the apportionment advance process detailed in the ABFR handbook. • Actual application process has not yet been developed.
Financial Assistance Loans • Applications for June loans will require a number of assurances including one from the county treasurer that the county is unable to provide a loan or other assistance to the school district to accommodate the proposed one-day delay in June apportionment payment. • June applications are tentatively required to be filed with this office by mid-April.
Financial Assistance Loans • OSPI will develop the application process and provide more information in February.
Prototypical Funding Formula • OSPI has provided on-site training on the new SHB 2776 formula at all ESD locations. • All biennial budgets are expected to adopt the new prototypical funding formulae. The governor’s budget has adopted this.
Prototypical Funding Formula • The following materials are available on our website under the SHB2776 link. • Excel Beta models showing calculations and comparison at the district and school level. • OSPI’s PowerPoints used during training.
Prototypical Funding Formula • The values used in transitioning to the new prototypical funding formula were intended to be cost neutral. • Some breakage occurred; positive and negative. • The Governor’s proposed biennial budget provides funding for districts losing dollars.
The “John Jenft” Sheet • The change to the new prototypical funding formula provides many-many more variables. • The revised John Jenft sheet is on our website and now encompasses 4 pages. • The first page covers the “typical” areas, the remaining three cover the full range of known variables that legislation could address.
