SB 1353 would give districts, which absorb academically unacceptable school districts, additional state financial aid for five years beginning on the year it was annexed to assist with the costs of facility renovation, repair, and replacement. The amount of aid will be determined by the commissioner each year by dividing the amount of debt service taxes received by the district during the preceding tax year by the number of students enrolled in the district, and multiplying that result by the number of additional students enrolled in the district on September 1 after the date of annexation. Additional funds from the Foundation School Program would also be used to provide state aid.
This bill would apply to any annexation that occurred on or after July 1, 2016.
