  1. April 24, 2013 Legislative Advocacy Trend Analysis Peter Olson, Teri Toland, Dean Ivanoff, Orin Wear and Cathy Lavine

  2. Facilities Anything having to do with the buildings and maintenance of the school building. New construction and school remodels would also fit within facilities.

  3. Passed Bills • SB 62 • This bill is to resolve the inequity in school construction.. Currently these small schools lack the bonding capacity for school construction, and must depend on legislative appropriation. This bill would level the playing field. • SB 62 was passed by the Senate on 4/9, and passed the House on 4/14. It will transfer to the Governor and be signed into law with his signature. • SB47 • This act provides funding for students to attend boarding schools even if they have a high school in their home community. This bills allows students the opportunity to attend a boarding school in order to take part in specialized classes or programs. This bill has passed and is awaiting the governor’s signature.

  4. Bills with “Legs” • HB133 • This bill would expand The REAA to be known as the REAA and Small Municipal School District School fund. It would allow five small municipal schools to qualify for the funds without having to have bonding capability. • This bill is in House Finance for the interim. It has potential to be passed because of its link to HB 62 that was passed. • SB 15 • This bill provides an optional Pre-K program to be funded by the state. Students who attend would be counted in the average daily membership count for foundation formula funding.

  5. Bills with “Legs” (part 2) • SB 19 • "An Act making appropriations for the operating and loan program expenses of state government and for certain programs, capitalizing funds, amending appropriations, and making appropriations; and providing for an effective date." • HB 93 • “An Act relating to the authorization, monitoring, and operation of charter schools” • HB 85 • "An Act extending the special education service agency; and providing for an effective date. • This Act is retroactive to June 30, 2013.

  6. Bills Without “Legs”: • SB33 • "An Act exempting a certain gas pipeline with a design capacity of 500,000,000 or more cubic feet of gas a day from the state's oil and gas exploration, production, and pipeline transportation property taxes until the pipeline generates revenue for its owners; and relating to the determination of full and true value for the purpose of determining the amount of required local contribution for public school funding."

  7. Likely Impact • Passed Bills • SB 62 • This bill will level playing field for all school construction projects. It will give small school the same opportunities for facility upgrades as larger school. • SB 47 • This bill will allow students in small rural schools to continue going to boarding schools to get specialized instruction so that they will be ready to join the workforce or continue on to college. • Bills with Legs • HB 133- • This bill would allow 5 small schools to qualify for funds with bonding.

  8. Likely Impact • SB 15 • This bill has legs, but it is a long way from being law. Voting in the Senate was mixed: 2 do pass, 1 do not pass, and 1 no recommendation. It is very likely that this bill will not pass the House. • SB 19 • If this bill passes, the following would receive money in education: • Boarding Home Grants 2,088,800 • Special Schools 3,316,900 • Alaska Challenge Youth Academy4,791,400 • School Finance & Facilities2,627,100 • K-12 Support 42,588,100 • Education Support Services 6,162,500 • Teaching and Learning Support 244,726,100 • Mt. Edgecumbe Boarding 10,412,30 • State Facilities Maintenance3,303,800 • Alaska PerformanceScholarship8,000,000

  9. Likely Impact • HB 93 • This bill would broaden who can create a charter school but there would still be the oversight of the state because applications would be go through the Department of Education and Early Child Development. • HB 85 • This bill would help insure that there are no drastic cuts in services given to the students who need them.
