The 2013 legislative session ended April 14, 2013. SB57 added a CPT adjustment to the pupil transpmiation reimbursement program for a three year period. Based on EED's fiscal note ASD should receive approximately $21,955,600in FY14, $22,504,500in FY15 and $23,067,100 in FY16. SB57 also moves the notice of layoff for tenured teachers from March 16 to May 15. The legislation requires EED to share information with school districts to be distributed to parents about the benefits of early literacy. Additional funding for schools was included in the capital budget as one-time revenue. $21,000,000 will be distributed to all school districts based on the school districts adjusted ADM. The legislation states that the funding is for student safety and security enhancement. ASD should receive approximately $6,394,400. Included in the Govemor's budget is $25,000,000 million in one-time funding for energy grants. This money will be distributed to all school districts based on the school districts adjusted ADM. ASD should receive approximately $7,597,200. I have attached a spreadsheet that lists legislation and its current status. You will see the current committee that the bill is in or you will see "awaiting transmission to Govemor" for bills that passed this session. Any bills that are still in a committee continue next year in that committee. HB 179 and SB82, broadband discounts for schools will have the state pay the local share of the e-rate program. There seems to be a lot of support for this legislation to assist with the cost of intemet services. The legislation also sets a minimum level of 10 megabits per second of download for each school. Currently there are about 170 schools in Alaska that have less than 10 megabits. Both HB 179 and SB82 are in their finance committees. 1 SB90, group insurance for school district employees is still in Senate Finance. It is my understanding that Senator Dunleavy will continue to work on this issue over the summer. The House passed HR8 that creates a committee to review the sustainably of Education funding. The committee will be co-chaired by Representatives Lynn Gattis and Tammie Wilson. The committee will meet over the summer and submit a report to the legislature, EED and the Governor by January 1, 2014. I have attached a link to HR8. Ed and Mike, it has been our pleasure to work with you two this past legislative session. If you have any questions about the attachments or legislation feel free to give me or Eldon a call. Please contact Eldon or myself if you wish to retain our services next year.
