Mel Myler", "committee": "Education", "text": "This bill establishes an Education Savings Account (ESA) for students who wish to use tax payers dollars to attend private and religious schools. A parent wanting to send their child to one of these schools would receive 95% of educational adequacy state aide to offset their cost of the private school tuition. Funding for the program would come directly from the Education Trust Fund which would lessen the total amount to be distributed to school districts from the fund. The administration of the program and the allocation of these public tax dollars would be through a private \"scholarship organization\" and it would receive 5% dollars from the Trust fund to pay for their services. The NH Department of Education has little oversight and plays a marginal role with the ESA program. The minority believes in parental choice within the public school system. It feels that SB 193 is a flawed proposal for a number of reasons: 1) Although we have no problem with parental choice, we feel that public tax dollars should stay with public schools and not be diverted to private and religious institutions; 2) There are limited tax dollars currently available for schools and an ESA program would further deplete available resources; 3) We believe in the tenet advocated by our Founding Fathers of the separation of church and state and that using public tax dollars to fund students attending religious schools is a violation of our state constitution; 4) We feel that an ESA program should be administered by the NH Department of Education as is done in five of the six states having ESAs, and not a private organization. The legislature can hold the department directly accountable for the use of tax dollars, but has limited oversight of a private organization; 5) The use of valuable public education tax dollars for \"private education\" will add additional tax burden on the public to make up the balance of lost tax dollars of a school district to private education; 6) NH public schools are among the best in the nation ranking at the top of key national indicators so why introduce this type of program in a successful system; 7) We realize that there are some public schools that struggle, but see little state commitment or leadership to assist these schools; 8) We have concern over the state's educational adequacy responsibility of the students' education in private schools and the evaluation reporting process of the students' educational progress. Public schools are the very heart of a democratic society. They are a diverse dwelling place dealing with the totality and variety of a student population. This is where the values of democracy and civil engagement are formed. It lays the future foundation for our work force. Parents have multiple kinds of educational choices for their child within the public school system and we believe that the state should not fund a private schooling choice through public tax dollars."}], "source": "House Calendar 52, 2017", "date": "2017-12-22", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 52", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2017%5CNo%2052%20December%2022%202017.pdf"}, {"bill": "SB193", "title": "establishing education freedom savings accounts for students", "majority_recommendation": "REFER FOR INTERIM STUDY", "minority_recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "reports": [{"side": "Majority", "author": "Rep. Robert Theberge", "committee": "Finance", "vote_yeas": 14, "vote_nays": 12, "text": "This bill presents unusually complex challenges, including constitutional, historical, educational, organizational, public, private and financial issues. The purpose of the bill is to provide education savings accounts for low-income children (family income less than 185% of the federal poverty level) whose parents want the state to financially support their choice to remove their children from public school and either home school them or place them in a non-public, primarily religious school. Even after the House adopted the Education Committee report, the leaders of the Education Committee were troubled by issues unsettled in that version of the bill and spoke openly that the version of SB 193 that came to Finance needed extensive revision. The Finance Committee held 13 work sessions, including several hearings. Five successive amendments were considered by Division II of the Finance Committee. The final amendment failed in Division II, with 3 in favor and 5 opposed on an OTPA motion. It was written by four leaders of the House Education Committee and sponsored by them and the chair and vice chair of Division II of the Finance Committee. The majority believes that the amendment needs further work. First, it does not adequately deal with the needs of special education students: the committee discovered that only public schools are bound to deliver a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) and that almost no non-public school is equipped with appropriately trained staff and/or willing to invest its resources in meeting complicated special needs. Second, two-thirds of the 140 non-public schools approved by the Department of Education are approved for attendance (that is, they meet zoning requirements and fire and safety rules only) and not for their academic programs (with the consequence that state adequacy funds would be used to support students in schools whose academic programs do not meet any private or public academic oversight requirements). Third, oversight over parent-directed education, familiarly known as home schooling, is minimal. Fourth, the amendment provides a scholarship for each eligible student equal to the base cost of an adequate education (about $3,600) plus differentiated aid ($1,800) if the child is entitled to such aid. The latter is somewhat confusing. There is no requirement nor expectation that the services covered by differentiated aid will be delivered outside of the public schools. Fifth, to compensate a school district for the loss of adequacy funds when a pupil participates in the education savings account program, the state will continue to provide adequacy aid for the first year plus a $1,500 per child stipend for the second year to help meet the school's fixed costs. However, those fixed costs are far higher than these amounts and last far longer than two years, imposing a significant financial burden that increases over time. Ultimately, this burden will be borne by local property taxpayers. Sixth, this program will be managed by a private, non-governmental entity that will receive up to 5% of the total funds transferred from school districts. Procedures used by such entities in other states have been demonstrated to be vulnerable to misuse and maladministration, and the amendment does not provide sufficient protections against such abuses in New Hampshire. Seventh, the amendment would downshift over $99 million to local school districts during the program's 11 year-ramp up period, most likely resulting in an increase in local property taxes. It is estimated that about 500 children will participate in the program's first year, increasing to about 2,000 per year in the ninth year and beyond. While the average downshift is about $9 million per year, it begins at about $2 million per year for the first year, reaches $10 million in the sixth year and nearly $12 million in the tenth year and beyond. It is clear to the majority of the Finance Committee that much more work needs to be done to ensure that unintended consequences are addressed and the educational needs of New Hampshire's children are met. Furthermore, the majority believes that both the Education and Finance committees should be brought back into the process over the summer and fall in order that future legislatures could benefit from research and analysis conducted without the compressed time-line necessitated by the legislative calendar governing a complex bill that is scheduled to be considered by two committees."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Karen Umberger", "committee": "Finance", "text": "As amended, this bill has been a cooperative effort between the Education Committee and Finance Committee. The policy was developed by the Education Committee and the financial aspects were developed by the Finance Committee. The purpose of the Education Savings Account program is to provide approved educational options that best serve students currently attending public schools. In order to be eligible for an Education Savings Account a student must be at least 6 years old and not more than twenty, attend public/charter school for one year preceding participation and receive an ESA in the prior year. In the initial year, the income level of the families cannot exceed 185% of the poverty level. The child can remain in the program as long as the income level does not exceed 300%. Additionally if a public school is not providing an adequate education for 2 consecutive years as determined by the Department of Education, students can participate. The options for students include both public and non-public schools approved by NH for school attendance which administers standardize achievement tests with the results submitted to DOE and the scholarship organization. There is also an option for parent-directed education. The scholarship organization will be chosen by competitive bidding process. They will be responsible for developing and maintaining agreement forms, accepting and reviewing applications, reviewing all receipts and fees and providing an annual report to the oversight committee established in the bill. The parents must submit the invoices to the scholarship organization for payment. The scholarship organization shall conduct yearly audits approved by DOE. The parent receives the account and is responsible for enrollment of their child in a public or non-public school or in parent-directed program. Specific items that the funds can be spent on are identified. The resident district is not responsible for any special education costs. A student may be eligible for a service plan in accordance with the IDEA program. The bill establishes caps on the number of students who can receive an ESA. The minimum number of students for any school is three, with 5% at schools of 100 students or fewer, 4% at schools between 101 and 300 students and 3% at schools with 301 or more students. The parents will receive $5,806 which includes the base adequacy grant plus differentiated aid for free and reduced lunch. If a child is receiving special education or is an English language learner this differentiated aid will also be included in the amount the parents account will receive. Based on these caps the maximum number of ESA's that are available is 527 per year. The first year a student leaves a public school there is no reduction in state dollars going to a school district. This is a result of adequate education grants and differentiated aid being funded a year in arrears. The second year a child is out of the public school the school district will receive $1500 per student who has received an ESA. This bill has had two years of study and the current bill as amended provides oversight, accountability and has a maximum cost to the state of 6.97 million over an 11 year period and a maximum of 99.43 million to local school districts over an 11 year period. These costs are cumulative, with the maximum in one year of $11.97 million statewide, and apply only if all students eligible enroll. The costs start year 1 at $2.19 million for all school districts in the state. Improvements in the public schools will result in a reduced number of families who choose ESA's for their children. We have to ask ourselves should parents have another option for their children to succeed."}], "source": "House Calendar 17, 2018", "date": "2018-05-02", "dated": "signed", "cite": "HC 17", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2018%5CNo%2017%20April%2027%202018.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2017-02-23", "dated": "signed", "body": "S", "committee": "Education", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "2017-0500s", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 11", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2017%5CNo%2011%20February%2016%202017.pdf"}, {"date": "2017-03-16", "dated": "signed", "body": "S", "committee": "Finance", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 14", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2017%5CNo%2014%20March%2009%202017.pdf"}], "report_actions": [{"before": "2017-12-22", "date": "2017-04-25", "text": "Retained in Committee"}], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Education - General", "subject_source": "granite record", "house_committee": "Education", "senate_committee": "Education", "lsr": "2018-0912", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=0912&sy=2018&txtsessionyear=2018&txtbillnumber=sb193&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill text", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/billText.aspx?id=914&txtFormat=html&sy=2018", "kind": "text"}, {"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=0912&sy=2018&txtsessionyear=2018&txtbillnumber=sb193&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=0912&sy=2018&txtsessionyear=2018&txtbillnumber=sb193&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "SC 9", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2017%5CNo%2009%20February%2002%202017.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 11", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2017%5CNo%2011%20February%2016%202017.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 14", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2017%5CNo%2014%20March%2009%202017.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 17, page 19", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2018%5CNo%2017%20April%2027%202018.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "House Calendar 52, 2017, committee report", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2017%5CNo%2052%20December%2022%202017.pdf", "kind": "report"}], "amendments": [{"num": "2017-0500s", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2017-02-23", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "2018-2530h", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2018-01-03", "body": "H", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "Proposed by the Majority of the Committee on Education - r Amend the bill by replacing all after the enacting clause with the following: 1 New Chapter; Education Freedom Savings Accounts.

In order to be eligible for an ESA, a student must be a New Hampshire resident, be at least five, but no more than 20 years of age, not yet graduated from high school, and\n\nWho is currently attending a New Hampshire public school, including chartered public schools, for a minimum of one year, or\n\nWho received an ESA in the prior year, or\n\nWho is entering kindergarten or first grade AND\n\nWhose annual household income is less than or equal to 300 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, or\n\nWho is assigned to a school that for two consecutive years has been unable to demonstrate it provides the opportunity for an adequate education pursuant to RSA 193-E:3-b, or\n\nHas an individual education program or accommodation plan, or\n\nWho applied for and was not admitted to a chartered public school or whose application for an education tax credit scholarship, pursuant to RSA 77-G, was not funded.\n\nIf eligible for the program, parents may contract with a scholarship organization for an ESA, which may be used for a variety of education expenses. Under this bill, ESAs are funded for kindergarten and grades 1-12 students at 50% and 95%, respectively, of the per pupil adequate education grant amount, plus any applicable differentiated aid (except for differentiated aid for non-proficiency in third grade reading). Funding for home education shall be as provided in the education tax credit scholarship program. Scholarship organizations shall receive 5% of an adequate education grant for administrative expenses. This bill also provides an additional stabilization grant in recognition of adequacy grant revenue lost attributable to ESA students who were in attendance the previous year. Stabilization grants will be calculated at the amount of lost revenue in excess of one quarter of one percent of a district\u2019s prior year total voted appropriations.\n\nWhile it is not possible to determine the number of students that would be eligible and receive an ESA, the Department of Education has provided the following information, as well as an illustration of this bill\u2019s potential fiscal impact, based upon the stated assumptions:\n\nScholarship organization administrative expenses (5%) come out of ESA amount (i.e., typical ESA would be 95% of adequacy cost total, resulting in a net 5% savings to the State).\n\nOne percent of all current public school and home school students apply for and receive an education savings account. Other states with similar programs have experienced take up rates of one percent of eligible students.\n\nThere is an indeterminable cost savings to public schools, to the extent students seek alternative education options with an ESA. Other states have estimated the variable cost of educating students at about 65-70% of the average per pupil cost and estimates with statewide New Hampshire data yield similar estimates for variable costs. Statewide estimates, however, do not consider that many small schools would likely have high per pupil fixed costs, therefore a 30% variable cost estimate is assumed.\n\nThere would be a need for one full-time equivalent position to manage this program in the startup year. Future need for this position would be determined at the time of the biennium budget and either included or excluded from the budget each biennium.\n\nThe Department also considered the following data:\n\nIn FY 2017, the average cost per pupil ranges from $9,584.95-42,586.41 with the average being $15,310.67, and an indeterminable amount of these costs being either fixed or variable.\n\nThere are currently 135 non-public schools approved for attendance, with a total enrollment of 16,266. The Department does not have data relative to the resident town or city of these students.\n\nThere are currently 174,424 students in grades K-12 enrolled in New Hampshire public schools as of October 1, 2017.\n\nThe average daily membership (ADM) of grades K-12 in New Hampshire public schools for school year 2016-2017, for the purpose of calculating adequacy, with kindergarten counting as no more than \u00bd, is 167,642.\n\nThe total calculated cost of an adequate education for 2018 is $750,489,331. Therefore, the average calculated cost of an adequate education per student is $4,476.74.\n\nThe average calculated cost of an adequate education, plus additional grant, per public chartered school student is $7,479.38.\n\nThe homeschool scholarship used for this calculation is $2,762 pursuant to RSA 77-G.\n\nPLEASE NOTE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ASSUMPTIONS USED ABOVE\n\nFactors Used\n\n10/1/18 Enrollment\n\n174,424\n\nFY 2017 ADM (Kindergarten @ 0.5)\n\n167,642\n\nFY 2017 Charter ADM (K @ 0.5, Not Including VLACS*)\n\n3,137\n\nFY 2014 Homeschool Enrollment\n\n5,914\n\nFY 2018 Total Calculated Cost of an Adequate Education\n\n$750,489,331\n\nFY 2017 ADM, Towns with SWEPT > Cost of Adequacy (K @ 0.5K)**\n\n11,485\n\nAverage Calculated Cost of an Adequate Education per Student\n\n$4,477\n\nCharter School Amount\n\n$6,922\n\nHomeschool Amount\n\n$2,762\n\n95% of Average Per Pupil Adequacy amount in 2018\n\n$4,253\n\nAverage Cost Per Pupil FY 2016/2017\n\n$15,311\n\nESA Participation\n\n1% of Students\n\n1,676.42\n\n1% of Charter Students\n\n31.37\n\n1% of Homeschool Students\n\n59.14\n\n1% of Students from Towns with SWEPT > Cost of Adequacy**\n\n115\n\nState Impact\n\nDistrict Students\n\nTotal Current Calculated Cost to State**\n\n$6,990,740\n\nTotal ESA Calculated Cost to State at 95%\n\n$7,129,649\n\nEstimated Increase in State Expenditures\n\n$138,909\n\nCharter Students\n\nTotal Current Calculated Cost to State\n\n$217,147\n\nTotal ESA Calculated Cost to State at 95%\n\n$133,415\n\nEstimated Decrease in State Expenditures\n\n($83,732)\n\nHomeschool Students\n\nTotal Current Calculated Cost to State\n\n$0\n\nTotal ESA Calculated Cost to State at 95%\n\n$163,345\n\nEstimated Increase in State Expenditures\n\n$163,345\n\nCost of Adequacy/ESA Net Subtotal\n\n$218,522\n\nScholarship Stabilization Grants\n\n$394,522\n\nCost of Additional DOE Position\n\n$92,000\n\nTotal Potential Cost to State (Net Impact)\n\n$705,044\n\nLocal District Impact\n\nMaximum Local Loss of Adequacy Aid\n\n($6,990,740)\n\nScholarship Stabilization Grants\n\n$394,522\n\nMaximum Local Loss in Revenue\n\n($6,596,218)\n\nPotential Decrease in Cost to School Districts\n\n($7,700,134)\n\n* Virtual Learning Academy Charter School\n\n** Municipalities with statewide education property tax collections greater than their calculated cost of an adequate education retain the excess. Therefore, any loss of ADM to such a municipality would not result in an adequacy grant savings to the state to offset the cost of an ESA.\n\nAny reduction in expenditures for adequate education grants to local school districts or public charter schools will be to the education trust fund. This bill does not specify the source of funds for the ESAs or scholarship stabilization grants. It is assumed any administration costs for the Department of Education would impact the general fund.\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nDepartment of Education", "in_text": [], "chars": 32199}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 193-E:3-b": "/laws/193-e#s3-b", "RSA 77-G": "/laws/77-g", "RSA 194:23": "/laws/194#s23", "RSA 193:1": "/laws/193#s1", "RSA 193-C:6": "/laws/193-c#s6", "RSA 77-G:5": "/laws/77-g#s5", "RSA 194-E:1": "/laws/194-e#s1", "RSA 193:1-c": "/laws/193#s1-c", "RSA 194:60": "/laws/194#s60", "RSA 194-E:2": "/laws/194-e#s2", "RSA 198:40-a": "/laws/198#s40-a", "RSA 77-G:2": "/laws/77-g#s2", "RSA 198:42": "/laws/198#s42", "RSA 541": "/laws/541", "RSA 194-E:6": "/laws/194-e#s6", "RSA 194-E": "/laws/194-e"}, "amends": {"RSA 194-E": "/laws/194-e"}}
