Current law requires the TCS Board to submit a plan to JCF for allocating general state aid to technical college districts based on performance with respect to specified criteria. Upon approval by JCF, the TCS Board must allocate the general state aid among the districts so that, by fiscal year 2016-17, 30 percent of the aid is allocated according to the plan and 70 percent is allocated according to a formula for equalizing the aid based on district property values. Under former law, all of the aid was allocated according to the equalization formula and, in fiscal year 2017-18, current law reverts to allocating all of the aid according to the equalization formula.
This bill eliminates the reversion to former law and, in fiscal year 2017-18, requires the TCS Board to allocate 40 percent according to the plan and 60 percent according to the equalization formula. Also, in fiscal year year 2018-19, the bill requires the TCS Board to allocate 50 percent according to the plan and 50 percent according to the equalization formula. Finally, in fiscal year 2019-20 and thereafter, the TCS Board must allocate 100 percent according to the plan.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
