Judith T Reever", "committee": "Education", "vote_yeas": 13, "vote_nays": 5, "text": "This bill gives communities who do not currently offer kindergarten an additional year, until September 2009, to comply with the requirement that kindergarten be offered as part of an adequate education. The bill also provides and extends per pupil grants and classroom construction aid grants from the department of education, through July 15, 2013, to school districts that do not currently offer kindergarten. The provision for transitional grants allows districts which begin a kindergarten program by September '08 or September '09 to receive additional assistance for implementation. Districts can choose to receive state funding for either 75% of actual construction costs or 100% of the cost of constructing a basic code compliant kindergarten building/classrooms. The bill also provides for 100% of lease and set up costs for portable classrooms for three years as a transition to permanent construction, and 100% of initial furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The current per pupil grant of $1,200 will continue until new adequacy grants begin in 2010. The Joint Legislative Committee on Costing an Adequate Education considered but rejected the use of private kindergartens because they have lower certification and licensing standards and inconsistent results. Districts can choose to tuition to other public districts. The exemption from RSA 32:8 and 32:11 allows districts to use state aid without requiring a warrant article because there is no local burden. Even though the NH Constitution Part II Article 28-a may not apply to requiring kindergarten as part of adequacy because the constitutional basis for providing adequacy predates the adoption of 28-a, the bill eliminates any possible 28-a concern by providing a 100% state funding option for the creation of kindergarten programs in those districts that currently do not offer kindergarten. By December 1, 2008, districts unable to open kindergarten by September '08 will submit a plan for providing public kindergarten to the Commissioner of Education. For every year of delay, approximately 2,000 21 children do not have the opportunity for a free, public kindergarten. This bill, as amended, will for the first time in New Hampshire history, provide the opportunity for free public kindergarten for all five year olds in our state."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. David W Hess", "committee": "Education", "text": "This bill is a heavy-handed. \"Big Brother\" approach to implement mandated public kindergarten in twelve of our communities. The committee minority believes full state funding for kindergarten is necessary, both because it is a new mandate under Article 28-a and because it is now part of the definition of an adequate education. However, this bill only funds 75% of the construction costs for new standard classrooms and less than the full operating costs of the estimated 51 new classrooms needed to satisfy the mandate. (A department of education representative testified that the alternative \"basic code compliant kindergarten facility\" inserted into the bill by a Senate amendment is not a good permanent building solution.) The bill also implements the politically and practically impossible timeline to comply with this mandate, and usurps the Municipal Budget Act by specifying that school boards must accept state transition grants for temporary classrooms in either 2008 or 2009 without needing the affirmative vote of local taxpayers. In that regard, the bill specifically negates the \"no means no\" statutes--RSA 32:8 and 32:11. Further, the bill requires that these twelve local school boards submit detailed plans for implementing a public kindergarten by September 2009 regardless of whether the school district voters have authorized it or agree to do it. In fact, only two of the twelve school districts are taking steps to provide kindergarten in 2008, while the overwhelming majority have done nothing to date, and have defiantly stated that they will not implement public kindergarten without taxpayer approval. In addition, the bill does not allow school districts to contract with private kindergartens that meet state standards to satisfy this mandate. This method is probably the most effective way to transition into a permanent program and may well be the least expensive way for a community to provide kindergarten permanently. Yet the committee majority refused to consider this option. Finally, the committee received uncontested testimony that the same percentage of kindergartenaged children in these towns attend private programs as attend in those towns with public kindergartens. Thus, this bill would increase education spending by more than $20 million with no anticipated increase in kindergarten attendance in either these towns or across the state."}], "source": "House Calendar 28, 2008", "date": "2008-04-11", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 28", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2008%5CNo%2028%20April%2011%202008.pdf"}, {"bill": "SB530", "title": "relative to kindergarten aid", "majority_recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "minority_recommendation": "INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE", "reports": [{"side": "Majority", "author": "Rep.

SB 530, as amended by the Finance Committee, offers flexibility, options, and incentives to the 12 communities that currently do not provide public kindergarten as a component of an adequate education. Without SB 530, districts must offer public kindergarten by September 2008 and would have fewer transition options. The bill extends the existing construction grant that covers 75 percent of the actual cost of constructing kindergarten facilities. It also allows a construction grant that covers 100 percent of the actual cost of a basic code-pliant kindergarten facility. School districts that displace pupils from existing classroom space in order to provide kindergarten programs are eligible for these grants to cover the costs incurred in constructing or renovating new classroom space for the displaced pupils. Transition grants are also available to cover 100 percent of the cost of leasing and set up of temporary classrooms. All these grants include the cost of furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the kindergarten program. In addition to allowing districts to contract with another public school district that provides a state-approved program, the bill allows districts to contract with a private entity, in accordance with RSA 198:48-a, provided that the private kindergarten program meets or exceeds state standards. SB 530 does not change the provisions for per pupil allocation grants. All provisions for transition grants, however, are extended for four years. The Department of Education testified that with the possible exception of 2 districts, space already exists in the other districts which could be adapted for this purpose. SB 530 as amended will allow the 12 school districts not yet offering public kindergarten time to make sound local decisions that insure the permanent opportunity for a public kindergarten education for every New Hampshire 5-year old."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep.

In funding the new kindergarten mandate adopted last year, the bill fails to pay for the entire cost imposed on the twelve school districts which have not voluntarily chosen to offer public kindergarten, thus violating Article 28-a of our state constitution. Specifically, the four-year transition period, even the most generous of the state-funded options available to these school districts to pay for kindergarten facilities doesn't cover the land, site preparation or core facilities' cost. The bill also removes the \"no means no\" statutory protection currently provided to taxpayers. The bill repeals RSA 32:8 and 32:11 with respect to kindergarten costs. These sections bar school boards, among other things, from spending money beyond that authorized by taxpayers. As a result, if the taxpayers of the school district do not vote funds to pay for construction costs, the school board is required to override the taxpayers and spend money taxpayers have not authorized. This is a very undesirable precedent. In effect, the bill orders the twelve school districts over a fouryear period to construct kindergarten facilities. Forcing the state and municipalities to do significant construction and spend millions of dollars at a time when our economy is at a standstill is 10 fiscally irresponsible. Universal kindergarten could have been required without the construction and financial mandates.

Once pupils enrolled in an approved kindergarten program have been counted in the average daily membership, school districts shall receive, for each such pupil, an adequate education grant calculated in accordance with RSA 198:41 and RSA 198:42. School districts that receive kindergarten adequate education grants under this section shall not be eligible to receive any other per pupil adequate education grant.\n\n384:3 Kindergarten Implementation Plan.
