Summary:
|
In 2012/13 the Board elected to accept the Mandated Costs Block Grant rather than continue filing under the traditional mandated costs filing method. This decision was partially based on Graduation Requirements not being part of the Block Grant and the District being able to continue to file the claim.
For 2013/14, the State has modified the program to include the Graduation Requirements mandate. As a result the funding model is changed from a flat $28/ADA for all students to $28/ADA for grades K-8 and $56/ADA for grades 9-12.
The additional $28/ADA covers between 15 and 20 cents on the dollar for the Graduation Requirements claim. However, not utilizing the Block Grant will cost the district with relation to the other claims.
The board’s decision tonight is whether to go with the block grant that will pay us about 55-60 cents on the dollar blended across all mandates now, versus filing the claims and waiting until the State actually pays the claims with interest.
