Introduction and Reference of Senate Bills SB 257 SENATE BILL NO. 257 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: An Act relating to academic performance and accreditation of public schools; relating to state aid to school districts and regional educational attendance areas; and providing for an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services and Finance Committees. Fiscal notes published today from Department of Education (2). Governors transmittal letter dated January 23: Dear President Miller: We have the responsibility to ensure every child in the state receives the educational opportunities to succeed. When our children can read, write and compute they not only are better able to enter the work force, but they can become full participants in tomorrow's society. On the other hand, children not meeting success in our schools are far more likely to fail in other ways, contributing to future costs to the public. 1998-01-26 Senate Journal Page 2296 SB 257 Meeting this responsibility requires providing schools appropriate funding and support while holding them accountable for student performance. I am pleased to send you my Quality Schools initiative today a comprehensive bill proposing a new system of school accountability, and a revamping of the foundation formula to make our funding system more equitable. This bill replaces the school funding bills (SB 85 and HB 126) and the education competency testing bills (SB 200 and HB 275) I proposed last year. The "Quality Schools," or "accountability" portion of this legislation launches a three-part plan to improve Alaska's schools: mandatory standards in the basics of reading, writing and math; mandatory assessment and testing to ensure students are making the grade; and mandatory consequences for schools that are failing. The State Board of Education will develop student performance standards in reading, writing and mathematics for all public schools. Students will then be assessed and tested throughout their school years to ensure they are meeting the performance standards. Last year, the Legislature required a high school "exit exam." This bill I am presenting today provides the structure to ensure that students are ready for the exam and have the skills to receive a high school diploma. In order to determine whether schools are providing an adequate education for all students, this legislation will establish a state accreditation system based on a school's performance. Beginning in 2002, the Department of Education will designate each public school in the state as distinguished, successful, deficient, or in crisis based on measures of student performance. Successful and distinguished schools will automatically receive state accreditation. Schools designated deficient or in crisis will work with parents, their communities and the Department of Education, if desired, to design an improvement plan to earn state accreditation. If after two years a school does not earn a successful designation, intervention by the state, in consultation with the community and parents, is authorized. While direct intervention by the state is not expected nor desired, it would be irresponsible to not take action to overcome failing schools. 1998-01-26 Senate Journal Page 2297 SB 257 Adequate funding is necessary if schools are to meet the expectations laid out in this plan. In revising the foundation formula, this bill makes a long overdue increase in the instructional unit value, from $61,000 to $62,550 and establishes automatic adjustments in the future to help schools keep up with increased costs. The unit value increase will result in $20 million more for formula funding in fiscal year 1999. An additional $4.1 million in foundation formula support will ensure equitable funding in special and gifted education and correspondence programs and provide hold harmless dollars so that no district experiences decreased funding under the new formula. Other changes to the foundation formula are based on implementing the Quality Schools initiative and making the funding system as equitable as possible, and include: Closing loopholes in special education and gifted funding. Holding districts harmless from loss of state aid under the new program on a sliding scale for the first three years. Incorporating single site tables into the foundation program. Equalizing district correspondence funding. With the introduction of these new dollars to the formula, I have asked business leaders to meet with school administrators to discuss best business practices. The public deserves to know we are spending our education dollars wisely, and I am committed to assist districts to that end. I want to thank the State Board of Education and all the groups in the education community for their work on crafting this bill. We have agreed it is time to raise the bar for schools in Alaska, provide schools the funds to ensure each student can jump that bar, and hold schools accountable if students do not. We know all children can learn, and all schools can be successful. But, we also know all Alaskan children are not learning, and not all our schools are 1998-01-26 Senate Journal Page 2298 SB 257 successful. This legislation sets forth a system for high expectations and high results. I urge your prompt consideration and passage of this proposal. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor SB 258 SENATE BILL NO. 258 BY THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE BY REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR, entitled: An Act relating to the states participation in the financing of construction and major maintenance of public school facilities; giving notice of and approving the entry into, and the issuance of certificates of participation in, lease-financing agreements for public school facilities; and providing an effective date. was read the first time and referred to the Health, Education and Social Services and Finance Committees.

Governors transmittal letter dated January 23, 1998: Dear President Miller: Part of my Quality Schools Initiative is the provision of adequate, safe and well-maintained schools in which our children can learn. Unfortunately, with declining general fund capital budgets, the backlog of needed school construction and major maintenance projects across our state has continued to grow. Today I am 1998-01-26 Senate Journal Page 2299 SB 258 introducing legislation that provides a plan and a funding mechanism for addressing the entire current statewide prioritized list of $744 million of capital projects over the next 10 years. The Public School Facilities Financing Program authorizes the issuance of certificates of participation a specialized type of revenue bond which has recently been issued by the state at very favorable interest rates. These bonds will be repaid by revenues from cigarette taxes deposited into the designated School Fund. In this way, up to $100 million can be leveraged annually over the next six years. After that, general funds will be utilized that are currently budgeted for the local school debt reimbursement program as local school bonds are retired. The program will balance the needs of rural and urban school districts, with an emphasis in the early years on critical major maintenance projects. Annual funding is designed to meet critical projects quickly yet maintain a level that maximizes the use of in- state workers and companies. This program will provide a predictable source of funds and certainty in project scheduling for local districts. As in the current grant program, a local matching share would be required from 35% to 2% of total project costs depending on the tax base of the district. However, unlike the current school debt reimbursement program, school districts would be required only to come up with their match share and would not have to bond for the entire project amount. Education is a top priority for most Alaskans and this Administration. To address the many challenges facing our schools and to advance quality in the education of our children, I have introduced legislation that 1) mandates standards, comprehensive testing, and remedial actions for deficient schools; 2) provides more resources for our strapped schools; 3) revises our foundation formula 1998-01-26 Senate Journal Page 2300 SB 258 to more efficiently and equitably distribute state funds; and 4)provides adequate space and safety for students. I urge your prompt and favorable action.
