EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Select Committee on School Finance Recalibration (Committee) met for two days in Cheyenne. The Committee received final recommendations and analysis related to the recalibration of the education resource block grant funding model (funding model) from the Legislature’s consultant Augenblick, Palaich and Associates (APA). The Committee reviewed the cost implications of APA's final recommendations. The Committee reviewed two bills sponsored by the Joint Education Interim Committee concerning school finance. The Committee also reviewed three bill drafts to implement APA's recommendations and one individual legislator's bill draft concerning the number of administrators a school district may hire. The Committee sponsored one of the draft bills to implement APA's recommendations, which concerns school district transportation. The Committee also requested LSO draft a bill regarding special educator's worker's compensation designation.

CALL TO ORDER (NOVEMBER 29, 2017) Co-Chairman Sommers called the meeting to order at 8:35 a.m. The following sections summarize the Committee proceedings by topic. Please refer to Appendix 1-01 to review the Committee Meeting Agenda.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES Minutes from the November 29, 30 and December 1, 2017 Committee meeting were approved without change.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Ted Hewitt, LSO Staff Attorney, and Michael O'Donnell, Wyoming Attorney General's Office, discussed the Legislature's constitutional obligation to establish and maintain a complete and uniform system of public schools.

REVIEW OF FEEDBACK ON DRAFT REPORT Amanda Brown, Justin Silverstein, and Dr. Mark Fermanich of APA, discussed feedback received from education stakeholders via an online survey regarding APA's draft recommendations on recalibrating the State's school finance system. Appendix 3-01. The feedback indicated stakeholders agreed with APA's recommendation to increase model teacher salaries, provide a 30% increase in base personnel resources for at-risk students and English language learners, and increase per-student resources using a size adjustment factor. The feedback also indicated many participants felt class sizes should not be increased. APA received feedback indicating school administration should be reduced, either by sharing administrators among schools or reducing administrators' salaries. APA received feedback regarding certain instructional resources, including on the use of instructional facilitators, which many education stakeholders felt are not optimally used. Stakeholders also indicated career-technical education is not adequately funded. Regarding student support services, APA received feedback indicating the State should fund more resources for nurses, counselors and tutors. Most stakeholders agreed the State should continue to reimburse special education at 100% of approved expenditures. The feedback also indicated a majority of stakeholders agreed with APA's recommendations on non-personnel costs, though APA received responses indicating student activities, professional development days, and substitute teacher funding should be resourced differently than recommended by APA. Stakeholders generally did not agree with APA's recommendations regarding the State's regional cost adjustment, the comparable wage index. Additionally, stakeholders did not agree with transitioning the State's transportation funding system to a density formula.

Public Comment Gail Simmons, Wyoming resident, suggested the Committee should use caution when reviewing the survey results received in APA's feedback survey given how the survey was conducted.

Janine Bay Teske, Teton County School District #1 Board Trustee, discussed difficulties in using APA's feedback survey.

Bill Winney, Wyoming resident, discussed the use and size of administration within the State's school districts.

REVIEW OF FINAL REPORT AND ESTIMATED COST Amanda Brown, Justin Silverstein, and Dr. Mark Fermanich of APA, discussed APA's final report to the Committee. Appendix 4-01. They discussed their final recommendations based on their professional judgment panel study, successful schools study and the Legislature's 2015 cost of education study. APA's key recommendations include: class sizes of 18:1 in elementary schools and 23:1 in secondary schools; raising model teacher salaries by approximately $3,900 per year; retaining the current model salaries for administrators and classified staff; not adjusting model salaries by education, experience, and responsibility; increase base personnel resources, including health care, using a size adjustment factor; increase base personnel resources by 30% for each at-risk student and English language learner student; increase resources for career and technical education; use the Comparable Wage Index as the regional cost adjustment; maintain 100% reimbursement for special education services; and transition transportation funding to a system using a linear density formula. APA provided the Committee with an errata sheet to the final report, Appendix 4-02, a spreadsheet containing the model, Appendix 4-03, and a presentation on the final recommendations, Appendix 4-04.

Matthew Willmarth, LSO's Senior School Finance Analyst, presented the Committee a memorandum analyzing APA's final recommendations compared to the State's current school finance model and the school finance model recommendations developed by Picus Odden & Associates in 2015 for the Legislature. Appendix 4-05. The memorandum compares the financial implications of these three funding models under different scenarios, including using different methods of calculating average daily membership and using different regional cost adjustments.

Public Comment Pete Brandjord, Sweetwater County School District #2 Business Manager, discussed the importance of small class sizes and providing early education opportunities.

Jeremy Smith, Sheridan County School District #1 Business Manager, discussed his school district's efforts to develop early childhood education initiatives.

Janine Bay Teske, Teton County School District #1 Board Trustee, noted the Legislature could update the hedonic wage index and the Wyoming cost of living index in lieu of adopting the comparable wage index.

REVIEW OF INFORMATION ON SPECIAL EDUCATION AND TRANSPORTATION Dicky Shanor, Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) Chief of Staff, Megan Degenfelder, WDE Chief Policy Officer, and Jed Cicarelli, WDE Foundation Program Supervisor, presented a memorandum to the Committee regarding information requested at the Committee's previous meeting. Appendix 5-01. The memorandum discusses federal requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, including maintenance of fiscal support and maintenance of effort. The memorandum discusses possible

The memorandum also contains draft rules developed by the WDE in 2012 to provide school districts clearer guidance on what constitutes reimbursable special education expenditures.

REVIEW OF JOINT EDUCATION INTERIM COMMITTEE SPONSORED LEGISLATION RELATED TO SCHOOL FINANCE Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Willmarth discussed two school finance bills sponsored by the Joint Education Interim Committee, 2017 House Bill 30 and 2017 Senate File 28. Appendix 6-01 and Appendix 6-02.

REVIEW OF DRAFT LEGISLATION REGARDING SCHOOL FINANCE RECALIBRATION Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Willmarth presented three draft bills prepared for the Committee to implement APA's recommendations. The first draft bill, 18LSO-395 (School finance recalibration-transportation), would require the WDE to conduct a study to develop fiscal efficiencies and report to the Joint Education Interim Committee. Appendix 8-01. The second draft bill, 18LSO-396 (School finance recalibration- special education), would impose one-time and annual reporting requirements for the WDE regarding special education, require the WDE to develop special education staffing guidelines by January 1, 2019, and limit special education funding to those staffing guidelines. Appendix 9-01. The third draft bill 18LSO-397 (School finance recalibration-model components) implements APA's recommendations for school operations funding, not including reimbursable expenses. Appendix 10-01.

Co-Chairman Sommers discussed a draft bill, 18LSO-398 (School finance-administrators), which would prohibit a school district from employing more administrators than provided by the funding model, with certain exceptions. Appendix 11-01.

MEETING RECESS The Committee recessed at 4:30 pm.

CALL TO ORDER (JANUARY 30, 2017) Co-chairman Coe reconvened the meeting at 8:35 a.m.

18LSO-0395-SCHOOL FINANCE RECALIBRATION-TRANSPORTATION Mr. Silverstein and Dr. Fermanich provided the Committee additional details on the linear density formula recommendation for daily route miles. Dr. Fermanich indicated when APA reviewed the transportation expenditure data, it appeared expenditures were increasing at a rate higher than inflation predicted. He indicated the rationale behind the linear density formula pilot program would be to identify the average cost of transporting students and identify best practices rates for each density group that would be reimbursed up to the rate for each group. Dr. Fermanich stated Arizona, Texas and Kentucky have used this methodology for their school transportation funding component. Mr. Silverstein indicated outside consulting expertise would be required to assist the WDE throughout the pilot period.

Megan Degenfelder, WDE Chief Policy Officer, indicated implementing the linear density model would be feasible, but the WDE would need to contract experts to carry out the work of the pilot program. Ms. Degenfelder also indicated only 16 of the 48 school districts in the state utilize routing software. She also stated the School Finance Data Advisory Committee and the Pupil Transportation Advisory Committee are actively working on providing the Committee recommendations regarding transportation efficiencies.

Public Comment Jon Abrams, Laramie County School District #2 Superintendent, stated his school district’s bus drivers were the best people to identify cost savings and efficiencies for his school district.

Boyd Brown, Campbell County School District #1 Superintendent, stated his school district utilizes routing software and two-tiered busing. He also provided examples of school districts assisting one another when a bus breaks down in another district or in his district.

John Lyttle, Laramie County School District #1 Superintendent, stated his school district utilizes routing software. He also indicated some roads will not support larger buses so increasing capacity with larger capacity buses may not be a solution in all cases and provided the Committee examples of how his district identifies hazardous walking routes for students.

Charles Auzqui, Sheridan County School District #3, Superintendent stated his school district does not utilize routing software because there is no need for it. He provided an example of the challenge in cooperating with school districts in maintaining buses and used his district and Johnson County School District #1 as an example.

Mike Wiggam, Laramie County School District #1 Business Manager, provided examples of how the freeze on transportation funding will affect his school district because two new schools opened in his district which were not contained in the average of the funding formula. He also stated the longer he keeps a bus, more maintenance costs will accumulate and wondered how the formula will address higher costs for fuel.

Jeremy Smith, Sheridan County School District #1 Business Manager, suggested the efficiencies the Committee is seeking can be found through a revision of rules and regulations. He also stated he believes there will be issues with fuel and bus maintenance costs.

Bill Winney, Wyoming resident, stated the Committee should weigh transportation efficiencies with the sacrifice the students riding the buses will have to endure.

Pete Brandjord, Sweetwater County School District #2 Business Manager, supports collaborating with school districts in finding efficiencies through the rule making process. He suggested the State, when selling buses, should use an online bidding system because his district is able to sell to an international customer.

Kirk Schmidt, Fremont County School District #21 Business Manager, stated contracting for bus systems in other states is common, but based upon his experience serving on a national transportation board, Wyoming is not a feasible state for this service.

Committee Action Co-chairman Sommers, moved the Committee sponsor 18LSO-0395. The Committee adopted the following amendments:

Page 4-after line 17 Insert “(xi) Any other mechanism in the state's transportation funding system that would increase efficiencies."

Delete Section 2 and conform Section 3 as necessary.

Co-chairman Sommers’ motion to sponsor 18LSO-0395, as amended, passed by a roll call vote with all members voting yes, except Senators Kinskey and Landen, who voted no.

18LSO-0396-SCHOOL FINANCE RECALIBRATION-SPECIAL EDUCATION Brent Bacon, WDE Chief Academic Officer, addressed the bill draft and provided the WDE’s comments on the bill. He noted the WDE currently evaluates identification rates annually, which may yield a monitoring visit to school districts. Mr. Bacon addressed the over-identification rates issue regarding the speech language disability and indicated the WDE is working with the Department of Health and child development centers to address this issue. He stated identification guidelines are set by federal law.

Public Comment Peggy Monteith, Park County School District #6 (Park #6) Special Education Director, stated one of the issues her district struggles with is the number of students identified with a disability by child development centers in her region and believes over identification of students is an issue. She stated her first year in Park #6, 30% of the district’s kindergarten students were identified with a disability, but the percentage deceases by half for speech language disabilities by the time the students are in first grade. She indicated she has worked with the Department of Health and her local child development center to work on this issue. Ms. Monteith, in response to Committee inquiry, stated she used the census-based funding approach when she worked in Colorado.

Ginger Sleep, Park County School District #1 Special Education Director, reviewed the percentage of students identified with a disability and total expenditures on special education with the Committee. She also stated she had concerns with the provision in the bill draft to not allow reimbursement for staff above staffing guidelines and indicated it could lead to future lawsuits with students identified with a disability.

Boyd Brown, Campbell County School District #1 Superintendent, recommended the child development centers should be placed under control of the WDE and said it would be beneficial for school districts.

Carolyn Conner, Northwest Board of Cooperative Educational Services Administrative Director, indicated she has been working with the WDE to assist in providing regional services and reviewing educational service agency options. She indicated she believes the severity of students with disabilities has increased over the past 10 years.

Teresa Chaulk, Lincoln County School District #1 Superintendent, stated she believes providing free education to children aged 3-5 would help provide early intervention and reduce long-term costs. She also stated a cap on special education funding would be detrimental.

Debra Riker, Carbon County School District #2 Special Education Director, indicated providing educational services to students with disabilities in her district provides challenges due to the large geographic area of the district. She stated a cap or census-based approach in a small district would not work and hiring part-time employees for her district is difficult.

J.P. Denning, Laramie County School District #1 Director of Special Services, addressed the bill and supports continued 100% reimbursement for special education services and stated statewide staffing guidelines would be reasonable. He stated his district’s costs have increased with the addition of new schools and indicated the severity of needs of students have changed over the past 10 years. He suggested

Bill Winney, Wyoming resident, stated the military has a program identifying military bases with communities serving families with disabilities.

Dawn Scarince, Fremont County School District #14 Special Education Director, indicated her and her colleagues are willing to work with the WDE to identify efficiencies and provide transparency.

Committee Action The Committee took no action for a lack of a motion on the bill.

18LSO-0398-SCHOOL FINANCE-ADMINISTRATORS Co-chairman Sommers explained the bill draft and indicated it would limit the number of school and central office administrators to the amount the funding model provides. He stated he received information from the WDE indicating approximately 21 more central office administrators were employed than the funding model allocated, 37 more central office clerical/ and secretarial staff were employed than the funding model allocated, and 62 fewer school administrators were employed than the funding model allocated.

Public Comment Janine Bay Teske, Teton County School District #1 Board Trustee, stated the district renewed the superintendent’s contract for four years. She also stated the district’s administrators are paid close to what the funding model allocates.

Amy Vineyard, Sheridan County School District #3 Board Chair, indicated the district has provided a two-year contract to its superintendent and it is the board’s duty to hire the people of the district.

Representative Freeman indicated the formula for staffing in the funding model still allocates resources based upon the 2005 recalibration recommendations and the funding for these positions should remain a block grant.

Kirk Schmidt, Fremont County School District #21 Business Manager, indicated the WDE’s report indicates the central office positions have decreased over time since 2010. He also stated since school year 1989-90 general fund expenditures for central office, on a percentage basis, has decreased from 11% to 9%.

Kirby Eisenhauer, Campbell County School District #1 Associate Superintendent for Instructional Support, stated this is a local control issue and these decisions should be left to the local school board.

John Lyttle, Laramie County School District #1 Superintendent, stated since 2008, there has been 100% turnover in Wyoming school district superintendents. He indicated he does not have control over charter schools and the numbers provided should exclude those positions.

Brian Farmer, Wyoming School Boards Association Executive Director, indicated the most common term of a superintendent contract is two years. He also said he does not believe the salaries for superintendents and the private sector are out of alignment.

Kevin Mitchell, Wyoming Association of School Administrators Executive Director, stated he held the same contract for 16 years, but he was an at-will employee and could be let go with three months’ notice.

Mike Hamel, Carbon County School District #1 Superintendent, stated local boards should retain the flexibility in how to hire staff in the district.

Committee Action The Committee took no action on the bill as Co-chairman Sommers withdrew his request for the Committee to consider the bill.

18LSO-0397-SCHOOL FINANCE RECALIBRATION-MODEL COMPONENTS Amanda Brown, APA reviewed the school level resources and the differences between the legislative funding model and APA’s funding model. Appendix 10-02. Ms. Brown’s analysis indicated the school level resources were approximately $82.2 million greater in the APA model than the legislative model.

Public Comment Boyd Brown, Campbell County School District #1 Superintendent, thanked the Committee for the opportunity to review the funding model through a recalibration. He stated a concern the funding model provided by APA has is it is less transparent than the current funding model. He stated he does not believe one model is better than the other. Mr. Brown stated he believes adding the regional cost adjustment recommendation from APA into the current funding model would be appropriate.

Jeremy Smith, Sheridan County School District #1 Business Manager, suggested removing the regional cost adjustment from the bill draft and move the bill forward.

Lu Beecham, Fremont County School District #25 Business Manager, addressed the Committee regarding areas where the funding model does not address funding: food service programs, classified overtime, annual financial audits, and funding liability insurance.

Barry Bryant, Big Horn County School District #3 Superintendent, indicated his district has one of the highest at-risk populations. He addressed the regional cost adjustment and recommended a hold harmless provision to provide the statewide average for the regional cost adjustment to maintain competitive salaries.

Kate Mead, Teton County School District Chairwoman of the Board Trustees, recommended the Committee continue the current regional cost adjustment methodology. She stated the median price of a house in Jackson, Wyoming was $2.65 million and 387% of the statewide average.

John Lyttle, Laramie County School District #1 Superintendent, stated when hiring staff, he competes with the front range of Colorado due to the amenities Colorado offers. He also stated the availability of housing is a difficult issue his district faces. Mr. Lyttle also stated his district expends $1 million more than the funding model provides on student activities due to the opening of a third high school.

Charles Auzqui, Sheridan County School District #3 Superintendent, stated his support for the size adjustment used in the APA funding model.

SELECT COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL FINANCE RECALIBRATION Summary of Proceedings

Mike Hamel, Carbon County School District #1 Superintendent, indicated if further reductions occur, educational programs will be reduced and impact students and families. He stated he believed outside of Jackson, the cost-of-living is not much different throughout the state.

Jack Cozart, former Uinta County School District #4 Superintendent, read the Committee excerpts from the Campbell II and Campbell IV decisions regarding the financing of the educational system.

Mike Wiggam, Laramie County School District #1 Business Manager, explained before the 2005 recalibration effort, there used to be a 60-day average daily membership recalculation for growing school districts.

Pete Brandjord, Sweetwater County School District #2 Business Manager, indicated there were some aspects of the APA funding model he believes could be carried forward. He indicated his district will offer district staff an early retirement package and may have an involuntary reduction in force by next school year.

Committee Action Representative Harshman, moved the Committee sponsor 18LSO-0397. The Committee adopted an amendment to make a technical correction to the supplies and materials size adjustment on page 19 lines 22 and 23 and page 20 lines 1 through 4. Representative Harshman’s motion to sponsor 18LSO-0397, as amended, failed by a roll call vote with all members voting no.

GENERAL DISCUSSION ON K-12 ACCOUNTS AND REVENUE FOR THE UPCOMING BIENNIUM Representative Nicholas provided a brief overview of the Joint Appropriations Committee’s (JAC) action in the process of developing the budget bill to be introduced by the JAC to address both the general fund and K-12 education account shortfalls. He indicated all appropriations will be covered without raising taxes.

OTHER BUSINESS/COMMITTEE DIRECTIVES TO STAFF/ADJOURNMENT. Representative Harshman moved to request the LSO to draft legislation to amend W.S. 27-14-108(d) to how the statute was written as of July 1, 2014. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved by the Committee. Chairman Coe directed the vote on the draft bill to be by email. All Committee Representatives and Senators Peterson, Rothfuss and Landen voted aye.

Public Comment Kirk Schmidt, Fremont County School District #21 Business Manager, testified his recollection was the law prior to the amendments in the 2015 General Session, classroom special education teachers were not covered under the worker’s compensation extrahazardous classification.
