HOUSE BILL NO. 1
"An Act relating to the base student allocation used in
the formula for state funding of public education; and
providing for an effective date."
Co-Chair Meyer announced that HB 1 and HB 30 would be taken
up first, followed by HB 135 and HB 134.
CODY RICE, STAFF, REPRESENTATIVE CARL GATTO, offered to
answer questions about HB 1.
Co-Chair Meyer related that the base student allocation for
HB is $4,919, which is an increase of $70,089,500 over last
year.
EDDY JEANS, DIRECTOR, EDUCATION SUPPORT SERVICES, DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT, explained that the
$4,919 increase is a $343 increase per student over last
year and an $8 million increase over the Governor's
proposal.
Co-Chair Meyer shared that he would like to see the amount
higher, and noted that there was a great deal of previous
testimony to that effect. He pointed out that there are
several issues, PERS/TRS, and the recently released cost
differential study, which could impact education funding.
He stated a preference to move the bill so that there could
be early funding for school districts.
