Explanation
(This amendment distributes to local school divisions the state share of funding $198.80 per pupil in the first year and $195.00 per pupil in the second year as part of the dedication of Lottery proceeds for public education. The balance of the Lottery proceeds is included in Item 138 to fund a portion of Basic Aid Payments. The funds in this item are distributed using the composite index of local ability-to-pay and average daily membership. School divisions are authorized to use the funds in accordance with the provisions of Senate Bill 1225 for local educational priorities, including school construction, teacher salary increases, smaller class sizes, or other costs. A local match to this funding is required based on the composite index. Additional funding is provided in each year to ensure that no school division receives less funding from Lottery proceeds than were included in SB 800, as introduced. A local match is required for this funding, as well, based on the composite index. Finally, the amendment allows localities to carry over first year funds for use in the second year. A companion amendment is included in Item 138.)
