We are also considering whether any amount of the rapidly vanishing state surplus is available on a one-time basis to help fund the proposal. EqPupils Spending per pupil above the block grant determines local share tax rate in all towns. Same spending per pupil results in same above block tax rate in all towns Each increment on the tax rate supports equal increments of per pupil spending in all towns. School districts with local yields below the minimum predictable yield are supported up to the minimum yield level. School districts with local yields above the minimum predictable yield contribute local share property taxes to the sharing pool.
Donations can reduce local education spending.
Reporting donations is not mandatory. Spending per pupil above the block grant determines local share tax rate in all towns. Each increment on the tax rate supports equal increments of per pupil spending in all towns with the exception of towns whose yields are capped. Capped towns will have a lower rate. School districts with local yields below the minimum predictable yield are supported up to the minimum yield level.
