School Districts
Estimated Funding by School District and Individual School under SB 1101 JLBC Staff 4/3/2019 Notes: 1. Estimates are approximate and depict what formula costs would have been for FY 2019 if the bill had been in effect for that year. Estimates would be approximately 4.9% higher annually for FY 2020 and FY 2021 due to "base level" increases required for those years for additional teacher pay raises and inflation under the Basic State Aid (BSA) funding formula for public schools. 2. Estimates are based on current Arizona Department of Education data for Free or Reduced Price Lunch (FRPL) eligiblity, Average Daily Membership (ADM), and BSA formula costs. 3.

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Washington. Sir: Many students apply for admission to higher institutions in other States and sections than those in which they have received their high-school preparation. Many also seek certificates from ex¬ amining and licensing boards, which have no direct means of know¬ ing the standards of the schools from which the applicants come. The demand for this information led the Bureau of Education, first in the spring of 1913 and again in the autumn of 1914, to undertake the collection and preparation of lists of high schools and academies accredited by State universities, approved by State departments of education, or recognized by examining and certifying boards and by certain other agencies. The demand proved to be even greater than had been anticipated. The first edition of the bulletin was soon exhausted. There have be^n many requests from college and uni¬ versity officers for copies of the second edition. Moreover, changes are made in these lists of accredited schools from year to year.
