3317.012 Determining base cost of adequate education - building blocks.
(A) The general assembly, having deliberated on the model with which to calculate the base cost of an adequate education per pupil, has made a policy decision to calculate that amount as consisting of the following building blocks:
(1) Base classroom teachers;
(2) Other personnel support, which includes additional teachers, such as music, arts, and physical education teachers funded by state, local, or federal funds or other funds that are above the base cost funding level, and other school personnel including administrators;
(3) Nonpersonnel support. This model reflects policy decisions made by the general assembly concerning the cost of base classroom teachers, which decisions entail two policy variables: the number of students per base classroom teacher necessary for an adequate education and the average compensation for a base classroom teacher necessary for an adequate education. The model requires the general assembly to decide the amount of other personnel support necessary for an adequate education. The model finally requires the general assembly to decide the nonpersonnel costs necessary for an adequate education and to inflate the nonpersonnel costs from year to year using the projected inflationary measure for the gross domestic product deflator (all items) prepared by the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor.
(B)(1) For fiscal year 2008, the general assembly has resolved that a ratio of one base classroom teacher per twenty students is necessary for an adequate education. The general assembly has made a policy decision that the average compensation for base classroom teachers is $56,754 for fiscal year 2008, which includes an amount for the value of fringe benefits. For fiscal year 2009, the general assembly has resolved that a ratio of one base classroom teacher per twenty students is necessary for an adequate education. The general assembly has made a policy decision that the average compensation for base classroom teachers is $58,621 for fiscal year 2009, which includes an amount for the value of fringe benefits. Based on a ratio of twenty students per base classroom teacher, these amounts equal $2,838 per pupil in fiscal year 2008 and $2,931 per pupil in fiscal year 2009.
(2) The general assembly has made a policy decision that the per pupil cost of salary and benefits of other personnel support is $1,905 in fiscal year 2008. Based on the percentage increase for the per pupil cost of salary and benefits of other personnel support from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 2008, the per pupil cost of other personnel support is $1,962 in fiscal year 2009.
(3) The general assembly has made a policy decision that the per pupil cost of nonpersonnel support is $822 in fiscal year 2008 and $839 in fiscal year 2009. The amount for fiscal year 2009 reflects the projected inflationary measure for the gross domestic product deflator (all items) of 2.00%.
(4) Based on the determinations specified in divisions (B)(1) to (3) of this section, the per-pupil base cost is $5,565 in fiscal year 2008 and $5,732 in fiscal year 2009.
(C) In addition to the per-pupil base cost as determined under divisions (A) and (B) of this section, the general assembly determines that the following base funding supplements shall be paid to each school district:
(1) Base funding for large-group academic intervention for all students, based on 25 hours per group of students per year at an hourly rate of $21.01 in fiscal year 2008 and $21.64 in fiscal year 2009, as follows: large-group intervention units X 25 hours X hourly rate Where:
(a) “Large-group intervention units” equals the district’s formula ADM divided by 20;
(b) “Hourly rate” equals $21.01 in fiscal year 2008 and $21.64 in fiscal year 2009.
(2) Base funding for professional development, phased in according to the following formula: district’s teacher factor X 0.045 X formula amount X phase-in percentage Where:
(a) For each school district, the district’s “teacher factor” is the district’s formula ADM divided by 17;
(b) “Phase-in percentage” equals 0.75.
(3) Base funding for data-based decision making, calculated according to the following formula:
0.001 X formula amount X formula ADM
(4) Base funding for professional development regarding data-based decision making, calculated according to the following formula:
(0.20 X the district’s teacher factor X 0.08 X formula amount) +
(the district’s principal factor X
0.08 X formula amount) Where:
(a) For each school district, the district’s “teacher factor” is the district’s formula ADM divided by 17;
(b) For each school district, the district’s “principal factor” is the district’s formula ADM divided by 340.
(D) The general assembly intends that school districts spend the state funds calculated and paid for each component of the building blocks methodology described in divisions (B)(1) to (3) and (C)(1) to (4) of this section according to the purposes described in those divisions.
