To Chapter Presidents from Ed Mitchell
Every year, the Senate Committees on Education PreK-12 Appropriations and Higher Education Appropriations release a report that summarizes the recent legislative decisions affecting education funding. The report also provides great summary information and perspective for leaders and planners who need information regarding state and district finances. As the committees involved would suggest, there is good information available for Higher Education as well.
The topics include:
Education Legislative Appropriations with Local Revenue
Funding Decisions
Major Funding Decisions for Operations and Fixed Capital Outlay
School District Change in FTE Students, Total Funds, and Funds per FTE Comparison with FY 2008-09
School District Funding Summaries, Comparison with FY 2008-2009
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act School District Allocations
School District Workforce Education Allocations
School District Fixed Capital Outlay Allocations
Public Schools History: FTE Students, Total Funds, Class Size
