The Department re-scaled the scores on the statewide assessment program and as a result, the cost of an adequate education will decrease significantly starting in FY 2004. The districts that are selected by the existing formula will change and produce a lower base cost. The new base cost formula will select the school districts whose cost approximates that of those that would have been chosen if the scores were not re-scaled.\n\n\u00b7 This bill introduces an alternative base cost formula based on the New England CPI averaged over the previous four years and states the Department shall use the lower of the two base cost formulas. The base cost shown in the schedule below reflects the one computed with the CPI formula which is lower than the amount generated by the new base cost formula discussed above.\n\n\u00b7 This bill requires the Department to reduce transportation costs by transportation revenue before paying 70% of transportation costs.\n\nThe Department of Education assumes Chapter Law 338:21, Laws of 1999 will not go into effect. Effective January 2, 1993, Chapter Law 338:21 repeals RSA 198:40 and 198:41, relative to the method of determining per pupil adequate education cost and adequate education grants.\n\nA comparison of changes from current law with the re-scaled scores to this bill is shown below for FY 2004:\n\nFY 2004\n\nCurrent Law With\n\nRe-scaling HB 748 Difference\n\nElementary and High School ADM-R $ 213,863 $ 213,863\n\nSpecial Education Weighting 27,492 27,492\n\nFree and Reduced Weighting 17,417 -\n\nTotal $ 258,772 $ 241,355\n\nBase Cost 3,109 3,480\n\nTotal $804,522,148 $839,915,400 $35,393,252\n\n70% of Transportation 48,039,490 48,039,490\n\nLess Transportation Revenue - (538,435) (538,435)\n\nFree and Reduced Hold Harmless - 57,794,829 57,794,829\n\nTotal $852,561,638 $945,211,284 $92,649,646", "in_text": [], "chars": 24002}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 76:3": "/laws/76#s3", "RSA 72": "/laws/72", "RSA 73": "/laws/73", "RSA 82": "/laws/82", "RSA 83-F": "/laws/83-f", "RSA 21-N:9": "/laws/21-n#s9", "RSA 186-C:5": "/laws/186-c#s5", "RSA 186-C:19": "/laws/186-c#s19", "RSA 186-C:18": "/laws/186-c#s18", "RSA 193:1": "/laws/193#s1", "RSA 198:41": "/laws/198#s41", "RSA 193-C:8": "/laws/193-c", "RSA 198:40": "/laws/198#s40", "RSA 198:20-d": "/laws/198#s20-d", "RSA 198:42": "/laws/198#s42", "RSA 33": "/laws/33", "RSA 198:38": "/laws/198#s38", "RSA 189:1-d": "/laws/189#s1-d", "RSA 541-A": "/laws/541-a", "RSA 198:15-a": "/laws/198#s15-a", "RSA 198:43": "/laws/198#s43", "RSA 198:48": "/laws/198#s48", "RSA 198": "/laws/198", "RSA 194": "/laws/194", "RSA 194-C": "/laws/194-c", "RSA 76:9": "/laws/76#s9"}, "amends": {"RSA 76:3": "/laws/76#s3", "RSA 21-N:9": "/laws/21-n#s9", "RSA 186-C:19": "/laws/186-c#s19", "RSA 193:1": "/laws/193#s1", "RSA 193-C:8": "/laws/193-c", "RSA 198:20-d": "/laws/198#s20-d", "RSA 198:38": "/laws/198#s38", "RSA 198": "/laws/198", "RSA 198:41": "/laws/198#s41", "RSA 186-C:18": "/laws/186-c#s18", "RSA 198:40": "/laws/198#s40"}, "related": [{"g": 2, "o": "2001-2002/HB351", "n": "HB 351-FN-A-LOCAL", "t": "requiring the state to fully fund school building aid payments for fiscal year 2001 and making an appropriation therefor.", "y": 2001, "c": "Died", "s": "This term's {b} has the same text."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2001-2002/SB424", "n": "SB 424", "t": "relative to instructional and operational costs of providing an adequate education.", "y": 2002, "c": "Interim Study", "s": "This term's {b} has much the same text."}]}
