This bill extends certain incentives for whole grade sharing by school districts and for school district reorganization or dissolution for five additional years, from July 1, 2019, to July 1, 2024. The bill provides for a reduced uniform levy as an incentive for school districts that reorganize on or before July 1, 2024. School districts that execute a whole grade sharing agreement and adopt a resolution to study the effect of undergoing a reorganization or dissolution to take effect on or before July 1, 2024, are allowed to receive a weighting of one-tenth of the percentage of a student’s school day during which the student attends classes in another district, is taught by a teacher jointly employed, or attends classes taught by a teacher employed by another district.

This supplementary weighting is available for not more than three years. However, a school district that reorganizes before July 1, 2024, is eligible, for up to three years following reorganization, to continue to receive supplementary weighting in an amount that is equal to the funding that the district received in the year preceding the effective date of its reorganization. The bill does not affect the combined maximum total six-year limitation on a school district’s eligibility for supplementary weighting.

Resumen con IA This bill extends incentives for school districts that participate in whole grade sharing or reorganize. The total fiscal impact is currently unknown because it depends on how many districts qualify, but whole grade sharing and joint enrollment weightings alone may generate approximately $1.2 million per year in State aid and $150,000 per year in property taxes from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2023. These estimates do not include the costs for reorganization incentives or uniform levy incentives. (en inglés)2

Description
Senate File 602 extends the whole grade sharing supplementary weighting and reorganization incentives for an additional five years.
Background
This Bill is the third extension of the provisions currently in statute. Previous periods in which supplementary weightings were provided include:
- FY 2003 — FY 2008
- FY 2009 — FY 2015
- FY 2016 — FY 2020
Currently, school districts that participate in whole grade sharing and joint employment which jointly adopt a resolution to study reorganization are eligible to receive supplementary weighting of up to 0.1 per student for three years. Additionally, if the school districts reorganize, they may be eligible to receive the supplementary weighting for a total of six years. In addition to supplementary weighting, school districts that reorganize may be eligible for a uniform levy rate reduction for three years. The provisions in SF 602 extend these reorganization provisions authorized on or before July 1, 2019, to July 1, 2024.
The amounts of weightings for whole grade sharing and joint employment have varied throughout the last seven years, as shown in the following chart. These weightings are calculated from the number of eligible resident pupils times a weighting of 0.1. Supplementary weighting for reorganization has also varied in the last seven years. These weightings are calculated from the year prior to a district’s reorganization and carried forward for three years.
The supplementary weightings and reorganization incentives are funded through a mix of State aid and property taxes, which are calculated through the school finance formula. State aid costs associated with each of these supplementary weightings have varied due to the size and number of districts that are eligible to receive supplementary weighting. The property tax portions associated with each of these supplementary weightings have varied due to the size and number of districts that are eligible to receive supplementary weighting. Uniform levy reductions are paid by State aid through the school finance formula. The State aid cost for the uniform levy incentives depends on the enrollment of a district and taxable valuation of a district.
Since FY 2014, the minimum total State aid generated from whole grade sharing, joint employment, and reorganization incentives including uniform levy reductions was $2.9 million in FY 2018 and the maximum total State aid generated was $5.6 million in FY 2015.
Assumptions
- Under the provisions of this Bill and using the Department of Education’s (DE) historical analysis, there may be on average approximately 2,000 students per year upon whom supplemental weightings would be generated between FY 2021 and FY 2023.
- The districts eligible to receive the weightings for FY 2021 will make progress to reorganizing and will receive the weighting for the second and third years.
- The amount of State aid for reorganizations is unknown and will be predicated on the number of districts that approve reorganization prior to July 1, 2024.
- Estimates are based on a State and district cost per pupil of $6,736 for each fiscal year. Any State percent of growth above 0.00% for FY 2020 through FY 2024 will increase the overall impact. The State aid portion is appropriated from the General Fund and is based on the 87.50% foundation level and $92 per pupil for property tax replacement payments.
Fiscal Impact
The estimated fiscal impact of all provisions in this Bill is currently unknown and will be based on the number of districts eligible to receive supplementary weighting for whole grade sharing and joint employment, as well as the number of districts that start or continue to make progress toward reorganization.
However, based on the assumptions and DE analysis, whole grade sharing and joint enrollment weightings alone may generate approximately $1.2 million per year in State aid and $150,000 per year in property taxes from FY 2021 to FY 2023. These figures do not include reorganization incentives or State aid for uniform levy incentives.
