recommendation that said bill be amended as follows:

corporation shall publish a notice on paper that is not less than
eight and one-half (8 1/2) inches by eleven (11) inches in size stating
the following:
(1) That the annual performance report of the school
corporation, in compliance with the procedures identified in
section 8 of this chapter, is available.
(2) That the governing body will provide a copy of the annual
performance report to any person requesting it.
(3) That the annual performance report of the school
corporation that complies with section 8 of this chapter is
available at a specific Internet address.
(4) That the governing body will mail or distribute a printed
report to the parents or guardians of students attending
schools operated by the school corporation.
The notice must be published one (1) time annually under IC 5-3-1.
(c) Not earlier than September 1 or later than September 15 of each
year, the governing body of a school corporation shall publish an
annual performance report of the school corporation, in compliance
with the procedures identified in section 8 of this chapter. The report
must be published one (1) time annually under IC 5-3-1.
Notwithstanding IC 5-3-1-1(c), the annual performance report of
the school corporation may include the following:
(1) Type larger than the type used in the regular reading
matter of the newspaper or qualified publication.
(2) Graphics.
(3) Other typographical methods to enhance the report.
(d) A newspaper or other qualified publication may not charge
the governing body of a school corporation more than the amount
determined using the formula set forth in IC 5-3-1-1(b) for
publishing an annual performance report under subsection (c). To
determine the charge for publishing the annual performance
report, advertising space devoted to graphics, type larger than the
type used in the regular reading matter of the newspaper or
qualified publication, and other typographical methods to enhance
the report shall be converted to the number of lines of regular
reading matter that would have normally occupied the same
space.".
(Reference is to HB 1039 as introduced.)
and when so amended that said bill do pass.
