YES:
MR. SPEAKER:
Your Committee on Education , to which was referred House Bill 1381 , has had
the same under consideration and begs leave to report the same back to the House with the
recommendation that said bill be amended as follows:
ADM for a calendar year that is equal to the amount under
section 6.7(c) STEP ONE of this chapter, determine the sum
of:
(i) the school corporation's result under section 6.7(c) STEP
ONE of this chapter for the calendar year multiplied by the
school corporation's adjusted ADM for the current year; plus
(ii) the amount of the annual decrease in federal aid to
impacted areas from the year preceding the ensuing calendar
year by three (3) years to the year preceding the ensuing
calendar year by two (2) years; plus
(iii) the part of the maximum general fund levy for the year
that equals the original amount of the levy imposed by the
school corporation to cover the costs of opening a new
school facility or reopening an existing facility during the
preceding year.
STEP TWO: This STEP applies to a school corporation that is not
a charter school. Determine the sum of:
(A) the school corporation's tuition support levy; plus
(B) the school corporation's excise tax revenue for the year that
precedes the current year by one (1) year.
STEP THREE: This STEP applies to a charter school. Determine
the product of:
(A) the amount determined under section 6.7(c) STEP SEVEN
of this chapter for the charter school; multiplied by
(B) thirty-five hundredths (0.35).
STEP FOUR: Determine the difference between:
(A) the STEP ONE amount; minus
(B) the STEP TWO or STEP THREE amount, as applicable.
STEP FIVE: Determine the result of:
(A) the STEP FOUR result; minus
(B) the amount determined under subsection (c).
(b) If the state tuition support determined for a school corporation
under this section is negative, the school corporation is not entitled to
any state tuition support. In addition, the school corporation's maximum
general fund levy under IC 6-1.1-19-1.5 shall be reduced by the amount
of the negative result.
(c) The amount to be used under subsection (a) STEP FIVE (B)
is the greater of:
(1) zero (0); or
(2) the amount by which the department of education
determines the school corporation's state tuition support
distribution would be reduced as a result of the enrollment of
qualified dependents (as defined in IC 6-3.1-31-8) in a school
of choice (as defined in IC 6-3.1-31-11) rather than the school
corporation if section 6.6 of this chapter did not apply to the
school corporation.
The department of education shall base a determination described
in subdivision (2) on an analysis of the effects of IC 6-3.1-31 on the
trend of enrollment of eligible pupils and qualified dependents (as
defined in IC 6-3.1-31-8) in kindergarten in each attendance area
of the school corporation. The department of education shall
review the methodology used in the analysis with the budget
committee.".
Renumber all SECTIONS consecutively.
(Reference is to HB 1381 as introduced.)
and when so amended that said bill do pass.
