   "(1) Upon the release of each proposed omnibus appropriations act and final enacted budget, the legislative evaluation and accountability committee shall prepare and cause to be posted on a publicly accessible web site a presentation consisting of potential examples of the types and levels of educational programs and services supported by funding provided in the proposed or enacted omnibus appropriations act under specified allocations for the support of common schools.

Such transparency promotes better public understanding of the state resources provided to support the common schools. The information in the presentation is for illustrative purposes only. It is not intended, nor is it to be construed, to represent how state allocations are actually used by individual school districts, nor how school districts are expected or required to expend state allocations."
