Primary and secondary education
Under current law, the amount by which a school district's equalization aid is adjusted due to a net number of pupils leaving or entering the school district under full-time open enrollment (OEP per pupil payment) is determined by DPI based on the OEP per pupil payment in the previous year. Under current law, beginning in the 2015-16 school year, the OEP per pupil payment is the OEP per pupil payment in the previous year plus the amount of any increase in the per pupil revenue limit adjustment from the previous year and the amount of any increase in the statewide categorical aid per pupil amount (per pupil payment adjustment).
Under the bill, DPI will not begin applying the per pupil payment adjustment to the OEP per pupil payment until the 2017-18 school year. In the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years, the amount of the OEP per pupil payment is the amount of the OEP per pupil payment in the 2014-15 school year.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
