CONCEPT DRAFT 
SUMMARY 
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208. 
This bill proposes to amend the school funding formula by 
accomplishing the following: 
1. 
The school funding formula would be changed so that it 
would, 
during periods of diminishing state fiscal 
resources, 
direct state subsidy to students in the classrooms rather than to 
subsidize 
the costs 
for 
school 
administrators 
and limit the 
amount 
of 
the 
state 
subsidy 
allocated 
to 
all 
school 
administrative 
units 
for 
allowable 
reimbursements 
under 
the 
school funding formula to the level of the previous school year's 
state subsidy allocation; 
2. 
All costs for school administrators would be removed 
from the reimbursement formula for operating costs and program 
costs, 
and school administrator costs would be included in a 
separate category of the school funding formula and would be 
reimbursed at a 
lower rate of reimbursement under the school 
funding formula; and 
3. 
The savings from reimbursing 
at a lower rate would be redistributed 
operating costs eligible for state 
funding formula.
