BILL REQ. #:  S-4665.4 

Read first time 02/17/10.   Referred to Committee on Early Learning & K-12 Education.

     AN ACT Relating to carrying out the state's paramount duty by providing ample, stable, and dependable funding for basic education by shifting a portion of school funding from local levies to the state property tax levy; amending RCW 28A.160.192, 28A.150.260, 84.52.0531, and 84.52.0531; amending 2006 c 119 s 3 (uncodified); amending 2009 c 4 s 909 (uncodified); adding a new section to chapter 28A.160 RCW; adding a new section to chapter 84.52 RCW; adding a new section to chapter 28A.150 RCW; creating a new section; repealing 2009 c 548 s 805 (uncodified); providing effective dates; and providing expiration dates.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 1   The legislature finds that the system of financing K-12 public schools could be made more equitable by enhancing basic education and making school districts less reliant on local levy funding. The purpose of this act is to remedy the situation by removing transportation and school district maintenance, supplies, and operation costs that have been financed with local levy dollars and replacing them with state dollars. Given the changes in the educational system since the basic education act was enacted, these items should be enhanced to meet the state obligation to amply fund what it determines to be a basic education. By financing these items through predictable state support, the state intends to fulfill its constitutional obligation for a general and uniform system of education and ensure that state basic education is financed by taxpayers across the state on an equitable level, rather than the disparate burden imposed at the local level. This act is the latest effort by the legislature to constantly review and evaluate whether its definition of basic education and the associated finance system is providing the structure for equal educational opportunity for students.

Sec. 2   RCW 28A.160.192 and 2009 c 548 s 311 are each amended to read as follows:
     (((1))) The superintendent of public instruction shall ((phase-in the implementation of)) implement the distribution formula under this chapter for allocating state funds to school districts for the transportation of students to and from school((. The phase-in shall be according to the implementation schedule adopted by the legislature and shall begin no later than the 2013-14)) beginning in the 2011-12 school year.
     (((a))) (1) The formula must be developed and revised on an ongoing basis using the major cost factors in student transportation, including basic and special student loads, school district land area, average distance to school, roadway miles, and number of locations served. Factors must include all those site characteristics that are statistically significant after analysis of the data required by the revised reporting process.
     (((b))) (2) The formula must allocate funds to school districts based on the average predicted costs of transporting students to and from school, using a regression analysis.
     (((2) During the phase-in period, funding provided to school districts for student transportation operations shall be distributed on the following basis:
     (a) Annually, each school district shall receive the lesser of the previous school year's pupil transportation operations allocation, or the total of allowable pupil transportation expenditures identified on the previous school year's final expenditure report to the state plus district indirect expenses using the state recovery rate identified by the superintendent; and
     (b) Annually, any funds appropriated by the legislature in excess of the maintenance level funding amount for student transportation shall be distributed among school districts on a prorated basis using the difference between the amount identified in (a) of this subsection and the amount determined under the formula in RCW 28A.160.180.
     (3) The superintendent shall develop, implement, and provide a copy of the rules specifying the student transportation reporting requirements to the legislature and school districts no later than December 1, 2009.
     (4) Beginning in December 2009, and continuing until December 2014, the superintendent shall provide quarterly updates and progress reports to the fiscal committees of the legislature on the implementation and testing of the distribution formula.))

NEW SECTION.  Sec. 3   A new section is added to chapter 28A.160 RCW to read as follows:
     (1) The superintendent of public instruction shall develop, implement, and provide a copy of the rules specifying the student transportation reporting requirements to the legislature and school districts no later than December 1, 2010.
     (2) Beginning in December 2010, and continuing until December 2014, the superintendent shall provide quarterly updates and progress reports to the fiscal committees of the legislature on the implementation and testing of the distribution formula.
     (3) This section expires June 30, 2015.

Sec. 4   RCW 28A.150.260 and 2009 c 548 s 106 are each amended to read as follows:
     The purpose of this section is to provide for the allocation of state funding that the legislature deems necessary to support school districts in offering the minimum instructional program of basic education under RCW 28A.150.220. The allocation shall be determined as follows:
     (1) The governor shall and the superintendent of public instruction may recommend to the legislature a formula for the distribution of a basic education instructional allocation for each common school district.
     (2) The distribution formula under this section shall be for allocation purposes only. Except as may be required under chapter 28A.165, 28A.180, or 28A.155 RCW, or federal laws and regulations, nothing in this section requires school districts to use basic education instructional funds to implement a particular instructional approach or service. Nothing in this section requires school districts to maintain a particular classroom teacher-to-student ratio or other staff-to-student ratio or to use allocated funds to pay for particular types or classifications of staff. Nothing in this section entitles an individual teacher to a particular teacher planning period.
     (3)(a) To the extent the technical details of the formula have been adopted by the legislature, the distribution formula for the basic education instructional allocation shall be based on minimum staffing and nonstaff costs the legislature deems necessary to support instruction and operations in prototypical schools serving high, middle, and elementary school students as provided in this section. The use of prototypical schools for the distribution formula does not constitute legislative intent that schools should be operated or structured in a similar fashion as the prototypes. Prototypical schools illustrate the level of resources needed to operate a school of a particular size with particular types and grade levels of students using commonly understood terms and inputs, such as class size, hours of instruction, and various categories of school staff. It is the intent that the funding allocations to school districts be adjusted from the school prototypes based on the actual number of annual average full-time equivalent students in each grade level at each school in the district and not based on the grade-level configuration of the school to the extent that data is available. The allocations shall be further adjusted from the school prototypes with minimum allocations for small schools and to reflect other factors identified in the omnibus appropriations act.
     (b) For the purposes of this section, prototypical schools are defined as follows:
     (i) A prototypical high school has six hundred average annual full-time equivalent students in grades nine through twelve;
     (ii) A prototypical middle school has four hundred thirty-two average annual full-time equivalent students in grades seven and eight; and
     (iii) A prototypical elementary school has four hundred average annual full-time equivalent students in grades kindergarten through six.
     (c) The minimum allocation for each level of prototypical school shall be based on the number of full-time equivalent classroom teachers needed to provide instruction over the minimum required annual instructional hours under RCW 28A.150.220 and provide at least one teacher planning period per school day, and based on an average class size as specified in the omnibus appropriations act. The omnibus appropriations act shall at a minimum specify:
     (i) Basic average class size;
     (ii) Basic average class size in schools where more than fifty percent of the students are eligible for free and reduced-price meals;
     (iii) Average class size for exploratory and preparatory career and technical education, laboratory science, advanced placement, and international baccalaureate courses; and
     (iv) Average class size in grades kindergarten through three.
     (d) The minimum allocation for each level of prototypical school shall include allocations for the following types of staff in addition to classroom teachers:
     (i) Principals, including assistant principals, and other certificated building-level administrators;
     (ii) Teacher librarians, performing functions including information literacy, technology, and media to support school library media programs;
     (iii) Student health services, a function that includes school nurses, whether certificated instructional or classified employee, and social workers;
     (iv) Guidance counselors, performing functions including parent outreach and graduation advisor;
     (v) Professional development coaches;
     (vi) Teaching assistance, which includes any aspect of educational instructional services provided by classified employees;
     (vii) Office support, technology support, and other noninstructional aides;
     (viii) Custodians, warehouse, maintenance, laborer, and professional and technical education support employees; and
     (ix) Classified staff providing student and staff safety.
     (4)(a) The minimum allocation for each school district shall include allocations per annual average full-time equivalent student for the following materials, supplies, and operating costs((: Student technology; utilities; curriculum, textbooks, library materials, and instructional supplies; instructional professional development for both certificated and classified staff; other building-level costs including maintenance, custodial, and security; and central office administration.)), which beginning in the 2011-12 school year shall be as follows:
     (i) Technology . . . . . . . . . . . . $113.80
     (ii) Utilities and insurance . . . . . . . . . . . . $309.21
     (iii) Curriculum and textbooks . . . . . . . . . . . . $122.17
     (iv) Other supplies and library materials . . . . . . . . . . . . $259.39
     (v) Instructional professional development for both
     certificated and classified staff . . . . . . . . . . . . $18.89
     (vi) Facilities maintenance . . . . . . . . . . . . $153.18
     (vii) Security and central office administration . . . . . . . . . . . . $106.12
     (b) Beginning in the 2012-13 school year, the allocations identified in (a) of this subsection shall be adjusted annually for inflation as specified in the omnibus appropriations act.
     (c) The annual average full-time equivalent student amounts in (a) of this subsection shall be enhanced based on full-time equivalent student enrollment in exploratory career and technical education courses for students in grades seven through twelve; laboratory science courses for students in grades nine through twelve; preparatory career and technical education courses for students in grades nine through twelve offered in a high school; and preparatory career and technical education courses for students in grades eleven and twelve offered through a skill center.
     (5) The allocations provided under subsections (3) and (4) of this section shall be enhanced as follows to provide additional allocations for classroom teachers and maintenance, supplies, and operating costs:
     (a) To provide supplemental instruction and services for underachieving students through the learning assistance program under RCW 28A.165.005 through 28A.165.065, allocations shall be based on the percent of students in each school who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals. The minimum allocation for the learning assistance program shall provide an extended school day and extended school year for each level of prototypical school and a per student allocation for maintenance, supplies, and operating costs.
     (b) To provide supplemental instruction and services for students whose primary language is other than English, allocations shall be based on the number of students in each school who are eligible for and enrolled in the transitional bilingual instruction program under RCW 28A.180.010 through 28A.180.080. The minimum allocation for each level of prototypical school shall provide for supplemental instruction based on percent of the school day a student is assumed to receive supplemental instruction and a per student allocation for maintenance, supplies, and operating costs.
     (6) The allocations provided under subsections (3) and (4) of this section shall be enhanced to provide additional allocations to support programs for highly capable students under RCW 28A.185.010 through 28A.185.030, based on two and three hundred fourteen one-thousandths percent of each school district's full-time equivalent enrollment. The minimum allocation for the programs shall provide an extended school day and extended school year for each level of prototypical school and a per student allocation for maintenance, supplies, and operating costs.
     (7) The allocations under subsections (3)(b), (c)(i), and (d), (4), and (8) of this section shall be enhanced as provided under RCW 28A.150.390 on an excess cost basis to provide supplemental instructional resources for students with disabilities.
     (8) The distribution formula shall include allocations to school districts to support certificated and classified staffing of central office administration. The minimum allocation shall be calculated as a percentage, identified in the omnibus appropriations act, of the total allocations for staff under subsections (3) and (6) of this section for all schools in the district.
     (9)(a) For the purposes of allocations for prototypical high schools and middle schools under subsections (3) and (5) of this section that are based on the percent of students in the school who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals, the actual percent of such students in a school shall be adjusted by a factor identified in the omnibus appropriations act to reflect underreporting of free and reduced-price meal eligibility among middle and high school students.
     (b) Allocations or enhancements provided under subsections (3) and (4) of this section for exploratory and preparatory career and technical education courses shall be provided only for courses approved by the office of the superintendent of public instruction under chapter 28A.700 RCW.
     (10)(a) This formula for distribution of basic education funds shall be reviewed biennially by the superintendent and governor. The recommended formula shall be subject to approval, amendment or rejection by the legislature.
     (b) In the event the legislature rejects the distribution formula recommended by the governor, without adopting a new distribution formula, the distribution formula for the previous school year shall remain in effect.
     (c) The enrollment of any district shall be the annual average number of full-time equivalent students and part-time students as provided in RCW 28A.150.350, enrolled on the first school day of each month, including students who are in attendance pursuant to RCW 28A.335.160 and 28A.225.250 who do not reside within the servicing school district. The definition of full-time equivalent student shall be determined by rules of the superintendent of public instruction and shall be included as part of the superintendent's biennial budget request. The definition shall be based on the minimum instructional hour offerings required under RCW 28A.150.220. Any revision of the present definition shall not take effect until approved by the house ways and means committee and the senate ways and means committee.
     (d) The office of financial management shall make a monthly review of the superintendent's reported full-time equivalent students in the common schools in conjunction with RCW 43.62.050.
