David W Hess", "committee": "Education", "text": "Last year in HB 927 (Chapter 270, 2007), this legislature defined an adequate education by reference to nine specific curriculum subjects within the minimum Standards for Public School Approval. In doing so, the law adopted, in their entirety, more than 30 pages of those Standards. This bill, as reported out of the Education Committee, ignored that legislative intent and, in many critical areas, substitutes subjective opinions for the Standards, universally resulting in increasing and inflating the cost of an adequate education. The committee minority believes that continuity in public policy and past definitions are extremely important in this effort to cost an adequate education. This education funding plan costs nearly $1 billion. It calls for the creation of new donor towns, reduces grants to many working class towns such as Derry, Londonderry and Keene, and unrealistically raises expectations in school districts across the state with education spending $100 million higher than the current biennium. That is $100 million more than the state has in its coffers. The committee ignored the definition of a \"highly qualified\" teacher embraced by both our state and the federal departments of education, and arbitrarily elected to use a higher level of experience which adds approximately $6,000 per position to the cost of adequacy--unnecessarily increasing total education expenditures by more than $60 million. The committee also inflated costs by sending \"differentiated aid,\" - additional aid intended to benefit students from lower social economic backgrounds--by an arbitrary, discredited \"step\" formula in unsupportable large amounts to children who come from both average income and even wealthy families. The committee also decided to adopt inflated funding levels for other elements of the costing formula, including per pupil allocations for educational materials, technology, transportation, and targeted aid for special education students. Finally this bill in its current form is a patchwork--first, costing an adequate education, then targeting fiscal disparity aid to correct the original bill's effect of sending far less aid to our poorer school districts than they currently receive, and then again amending the bill to send a half-hearted, short term, inadequate \"transition aid\" to those working class towns that unreasonably lose money under this bill. In conclusion, by this bill, communities that cannot afford to lose money are still losing money, 37 donor towns are created at a cost of almost $16 million to their taxpayers, wealthier communities get far more money than they currently receive, and the disparate treatment of our towns and the inconsistencies between the bill and HB 927 (Chapter 270, 2007) invite repeated, interminable future litigation.

Daniel A Eaton", "committee": "Finance", "vote_yeas": 13, "vote_nays": 9, "text": "In fulfillment of the state's constitutional obligation to cost an adequate education, SB 539 applies the recommendations of the Joint Legislative Committee on Costing an Adequate Education's final report to arrive at a costing methodology. Using the school approval standards referenced in HB 927 (RSA 193-E:2, Chapter 270, 2007) to define an adequate education, the bill establishes a per pupil cost for adequacy that includes both a universal amount and differential aid for special education students, English language learners, at risk students, and for schools with higher concentrations of low income students. All of the factors noted above were determined by the Education Committee to be part of education adequacy. The Finance Committee honored the work of the policy committee, and working with the language proposed by the House Education Committee and adopted by the General Court on April 16, 2008, it also provides fiscal disparity aid in addition to adequacy aid. The Finance Committee made technical corrections to clarify how the Department of Education should apply the provisions of the bill and how adequacy funds would flow between school districts of residence and attendance when the two differ. In recognition of the impact the new funding formulas will have on school districts, and in an effort to avoid financial dislocations that will affect school districts' budgeting, the committee included a two year transition limiting the reduction of aid to any towns or cities resulting from adoption of the costing formula - including for towns known as donor towns. A transition period will allow school districts whose funding will be altered by this formula time to adjust their budgets and their allocation and use of resources. This allows all school districts to attain adequate funding while protecting districts during the transition period against disruptive reductions in education funding in those instances where the legislation's adequacy computations may ultimately reduce the amount of state education funds allocated to a district. In order to allow school districts that receive large increases in aid the opportunity to plan for and integrate programs to be supported by those substantial increases into their educational systems, a 15% cap or \"collar\" on annual increases for two years was included for cities and towns that will receive more aid than their 2009 statewide aid as a result of the formula. While some individuals have raised questions about the constitutionality of this transition plan, the Attorney General believes it is defensible. In addition, nothing in this bill changes tax proportionality. Just as the legislature in the past depended upon commissions to assist in defining adequacy and determining costing, SB 539 creates two committees to assist the legislature in the continuing process of reviewing and amending as necessary the policies around adequacy and educational funding. A Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Accountability for an Adequate Education will review the assessment and assistance methods, reporting requirements, and other methods of accountability presently being used by the Department of Education and local school districts to determine whether such methods, programs, and standards will ensure the delivery of an adequate education. A Joint Legislative Committee on Fiscal Capacity, Transition Aid, and Diseconomies of Scale will study the need for providing fiscal capacity and transition aid to municipalities, as well as additional aid to address the lack of economies of scale in small school districts. These committees will report back to the legislature by December 01, 2008 so that the next legislature may make appropriate adjustments in these important areas. The new costing based on this bill does not go into effect until the 2009 school year. Using current data, the estimated cost of the bill is expected to be $940 million per year for the 20102011 biennium, and about $975 million per year (prior to adding in the inflation adjustment factor as required in the bill) for the 2010-2013 biennium. However, it is important to note that the exact figures will likely differ as more current figures are inserted into the formula and the next legislature determines what other adjustments should be made based on the reports of the two commissions noted above."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Neal M Kurk", "committee": "Finance", "text": "This bill is the majority's effort to meet the Supreme Court's mandate that the legislature determine the cost of a constitutionally adequate education. The cost of the bill is $939 million for each year of the next biennium. There is no provision for paying for the additional $128 million burden that the bill imposes on state taxpayers. Rather, the majority chose to put off that hard work until the next budget -that is, until after the fall elections. The majority thus significantly increases the fiscal problems facing the state in the next biennium. The majority's adequacy formula relies to an excessive degree - about $180 million or almost 20% of the total $939 million cost - on one factor: students who are eligible for free and reduced-price lunch (FRL). Here's why: for those schools in which FRL-eligible students are 12% or more of the total school population, every student in the school - not just the FRL eligible students - is counted in calculating the amount of state funding given to the school. The effect is to incorporate in the basic cost of an adequate education a factor that, when used to such a great extent, becomes a method of targeting state aid. The Finance Committee was given no evidence to justify either this approach or the amount of the per pupil stipend. The majority thus inappropriately inflates the basic cost of an adequate education. Rather than deal in the bill with this issue and the issue of accountability for the effective use of these funds, the majority establishes two commissions to study these and other issues. The best that can be said of the bill is that is holds school districts harmless - but only for two years. Those districts that would receive less state aid in FY 2010 and FY 2011 under the majority formula would be guaranteed the amount they received in FY 2009. Donor towns purportedly have their excess statewide education property tax rebated. But after two years, the taxpayers in all these communities would be hit hard. The worst is that two of the bill's provisions are clearly unconstitutional. The donor town tax rebates have previously been ruled unconstitutional because they violate the requirement of our constitution that all taxes be proportional. The 15% cap on the increase in state aid in FY 2010 and FY 2011 is also unconstitutional. Transitioning to full adequacy aid is not the same as full adequacy aid, and our Supreme Court has ruled more than once that the state must pay, from day one, the full cost of a constitutionally adequate education. For these reasons the minority is unable to support this bill as amended."}], "source": "House Calendar 34, 2008", "date": "2008-05-02", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 34", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2008%5CNo%2034%20May%202%202008.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2008-03-06", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Education", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 10", "cite_url": ""}, {"date": "2008-03-19", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Finance", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "", "new_title": false, "cite": "", "cite_url": ""}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Education - General", "subject_source": "granite record", "house_committee": "Education", "senate_committee": "Education", "lsr": "2008-2923", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2923&sy=2008&txtsessionyear=2008&txtbillnumber=sb539&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=2923&sy=2008&txtsessionyear=2008&txtbillnumber=sb539&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2923&sy=2008&txtsessionyear=2008&txtbillnumber=sb539&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "HC 28", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2008%5CNo%2028%20April%2011%202008.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 34", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2008%5CNo%2034%20May%202%202008.pdf", "kind": "record"}], "amendments": [{"num": "0803", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2008-03-13", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "RC", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1077", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2008-03-20", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1269h", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2008-04-16", "body": "H", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1360h", "kind": "Floor Amendment", "where": "floor", "date": "2008-04-16", "body": "H", "adopted": false, "vote_kind": "DV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1574h", "kind": "Majority Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2008-05-07", "body": "H", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "RC", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1661", "kind": "Floor Amendment", "where": "floor", "date": "2008-05-07", "body": "H", "adopted": false, "vote_kind": "DV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1668h", "kind": "Floor Amendment", "where": "floor", "date": "2008-05-07", "body": "H", "adopted": false, "vote_kind": "DV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1684h", "kind": "Floor Amendment", "where": "floor", "date": "2008-05-07", "body": "H", "adopted": false, "vote_kind": "RC", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1678h", "kind": "Floor Amendment", "where": "floor", "date": "2008-05-07", "body": "H", "adopted": false, "vote_kind": "DV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}], "billtext": {"version": "Final version", "title": "", "analysis": "This bill:\n\nI.

The general court finds that the cost of the opportunity for an adequate education for public school students, as established in this act, is based upon the definition of the opportunity for an adequate education enacted in the 2007 Laws of New Hampshire, chapter 270. The methodologies for costing, determination of resources, and elements of cost included in this act are intended to and do fulfill the state\u2019s duty under the Encouragement of Literature clause of the New Hampshire constitution to deliver the opportunity for an adequate education.\n\nII. The individual components of the cost were selected on the basis of their effectiveness in delivering educational opportunity and after extensive review, debate and discussion by the joint legislative oversight committee on costing an adequate education and the general court. The legislative process consisted of obtaining information from professional educators, government officials, education policy and finance experts, and the public on the establishment of the cost of an adequate education.\n\nIII. The joint legislative oversight committee on costing issued detailed findings and recommendations on the composition of the cost of an adequate education and how the funds for an adequate education should be allocated and accounted for in order to ensure that the educational needs of all public school students are met. These findings and recommendations were submitted to the general court and are an integral basis of the costing determinations reflected in this act.\n\nIV. The cost of the opportunity for an adequate education consists of several elements. All such elements must be provided in order to ensure the delivery of the state\u2019s constitutional duty. The universal cost represents the per pupil resources necessary to provide an adequate education where no additional aid is necessary to cover the increased costs of providing that opportunity to students who have special education needs, who have limited English language proficiency or are in schools with significant concentrations of economically disadvantaged students. The universal cost represents the costs attributable only to the subset of education that is included in the definition in RSA 193-E:2-a.\n\nV. The general court further finds that additional aid, referred to as differentiated aid, is also required to fulfill the state\u2019s constitutional duty to provide the opportunity for an adequate education for certain students. This act allocates such differentiated aid to special education students, English language learners, and students in schools with significant concentrations of economically disadvantaged students, the latter category based upon eligibility for federally-provided free and reduced-price lunch programs and the concentration of such eligible students in a school.\n\nVI. In determining the need for differentiated aid in addition to providing the universal cost for an adequate education, the general court recognizes that the resources needed to provide the opportunity for an adequate education are not the same for all students or at all schools.\n\nVII. The general court recognizes that special education students face unique challenges that require educational support and instructional resources in addition to those provided by the universal cost. After reviewing the findings of the joint legislative oversight committee and conducting its own inquiry into forms of special education funding and the laws relevant to such funding mechanisms, the general court finds that each special education student should receive additional funding above the universal cost. This per pupil amount is not dependent upon a student's level of disability or learning environment because the general court wishes to encourage the placement of special education students in the least restrictive learning environment possible.\n\nVIII. After reviewing the findings of the legislative oversight committee, including its survey of services provided to English language learners throughout the country and in New Hampshire, the general court finds that additional funding is required to provide English language learners with the opportunity for an adequate education. Accordingly, the general court finds that an amount should be distributed to each pupil receiving English language instruction in a district. This supplemental amount is based upon providing one teacher per 70 students receiving English language instruction and is in-line with funding provided throughout the United States to English language learners.\n\nIX. The joint legislative oversight committee report recognized that economically disadvantaged students require supplemental funding in addition to the universal cost amount. During its deliberations, the committee heard testimony and thoroughly reviewed studies, research, and data about the challenges that school districts face when educating economically disadvantaged students and all pupils in schools with significant concentrations of economically disadvantaged pupils, as well as the costs and considerations involved in implementing programs designed to overcome those obstacles. As encouraged by the committee report, the general court reviewed the committee's conclusions and used the legislative process to craft a funding mechanism that would provide the opportunity for an adequate education to all pupils in schools with significant concentrations of economically disadvantaged pupils. The general court further finds it necessary to provide additional aid to economically disadvantaged pupils in schools without significant concentrations of economically disadvantaged pupils to provide them with the opportunity for an adequate education.\n\nX. The general court recognizes that the adequacy and need-based formula implemented by this legislation will significantly alter the manner in which funds for public education are distributed to school districts. In recognition of the impact and scope of these changes, and in an effort to avoid financial dislocations, the general court finds that the formula should be phased into operation over the course of 2 years. In consultation with school funding experts, the general court determines that a transition period will allow school districts whose funding will be altered by this formula time to adjust their budgets and their allocation and use of resources. Accordingly, for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011, the general court determines that the new funding system enacted as part of this legislation should be phased in a manner that allows all school districts to attain adequate funding while protecting districts during the transition period against disruptive reductions in funding in those instances where the legislation's adequacy computations may ultimately reduce the amount of state education funds allocated to a district.\n\nXI. The general court recognizes that certain communities lack the relative wealth and fiscal capacity to fund local education to the extent desired by those communities. For this reason, the general court finds it appropriate to provide money above the cost of the opportunity for an adequate education based upon the fiscal capacity and relative need of certain communities.\n\nXII.
