  2. HB 153 – School Operation Support • Ohio Educational Computer Network (OECN) cut by 10% and EMIS cut by almost 43% • EMIS funding “redirected” through basic aid • School District Solvency Assistance increased by almost 39% • Educational service center funding reduced for FY12 to 90% of FY11; reduced further in FY13 to 85% of FY12 amount • State aid per pupil = actual state aid divided by district’s recalculated FY11 ADM

  3. School Funding Formula • Ohio Evidence Based Model Eliminated • Career Tech funding flat-lined in both years • Reductions to account for loss of SFSF accomplished through a “bridge” formula • Cap on loss of state aid • Performance Incentive of $17 per pupil for Excellent with Distinction and Excellent Districts (Senate provision) • Includes Community Schools

  4. Bridge Formula • Distribution to account for loss of Federal SFSF is bridge formula based on a per pupil amount weighted for wealth • For the step-by-step Bridge Formula, see handout • Special Ed Preschool Units and Transportation not included in calculation, but flat lined for budget. • Bridge formula language enacted in law – calculation for the reduction amounts, including loss caps for state aid will occur each year using updated data

  5. Bridge Formula (cont.) • Districts cannot receive less than FY11 state aid guarantee in either Fiscal Year (not including SFSF) • The state aid guarantee is based on: lines “TOTAL STATE SUPPORT” less [“PRESCHOOL UNITS” and “SPECIAL ED TRANSPORTATION”] from the statement of settlement.

  6. New Funding Model • Could be in place July 1, 2012 • Governor’s office beginning outreach to gather information related to the underlying principles that a model should have • May be based on work of Hanushek and/or “cost per student success” used in Butler Career Tech School District • Hanushek model is a performance based system • Budget language allows bridge formula to determine FY13 allocations if funding model not ready to be implemented

  7. TPP & PUPP Tax Reimbursements • Tangible Personal Property (TPP) and Public Utility Personal Property (PUPP) Tax Reimbursements • Phase-down of payments over the biennium (same as in governor’s original proposal) • Loss in each year capped at 2% of FY10 Total Resources: Sum of lines 1.01 through 1.05 on five year forecast, plus revenue (not net) for open enrollment • Districts under the 2% cap lose all replacement payments
