Title 20-A: EDUCATION
Part 7: SCHOOL FINANCE
Chapter 608: SCHOOL FINANCE ACT OF 2003 (HEADING: PL 2005, c. 2, Pt. D, @63 (new))
§15752. Mandated legislative appropriations for kindergarten to grade 12 education
In accordance with the phase-in schedule provided in chapter 606-B, beginning in fiscal year 2008-09, the Legislature each
year shall provide at least 55% of the cost of the total allocation for kindergarten to grade 12 education from General Fund
revenue sources.
[2005, c. 2, Pt. D, §63 (new); §§72, 74 (aff); c. 12, Pt. WW, §18 (aff).]
div>
For the purposes of this chapter, and until such time as the Legislature may implement an alternative school funding system,
"total allocation" means the foundation allocation for a year, the debt service allocation for that year, the sum of all adjustments
for that year and the total of the additional local appropriations for the prior year. In the event the Legislature implements
an alternative school funding model that alters the meaning of the terms used in this Title or otherwise makes obsolete the
system of allocations and local appropriations established by this Title, the term "total allocation" as it applies to the
mandatory appropriation required by this section means the amount reasonably calculated as the equivalent of this definition.

Title 20-A: EDUCATION
Part 7: SCHOOL FINANCE
Chapter 608: SCHOOL FINANCE ACT OF 2003 (HEADING: PL 2005, c. 2, Pt. D, @63 (new))
§15754. Fund for the Efficient Delivery of Educational Services
The Fund for the Efficient Delivery of Educational Services, referred to in this section as "the fund," is established as
a dedicated nonlapsing account within the Department of Education. This section provides for the design, implementation,
administration and use of the fund.
[2005, c. 2, Pt. D, §63 (new); §§72, 74 (aff); c. 12, Pt. WW, §18 (aff).]
1. Source of funds; purpose. Funds for distribution under this section must be transferred annually from General Fund undedicated revenue in addition
to the total amount annually appropriated for general purpose aid for local schools and must be placed into a single account.
Distributions from the fund must be made to those school administrative units and municipalities that are able to demonstrate
significant and sustainable savings in the cost of delivering educational services and improved student achievement through
changes in governance, administrative structure or adopted policy that result in the creation of consolidated school administrative
units, broad-based purchasing alliances, enhanced regional delivery of educational services or collaborative school-municipal
service delivery or service support systems.
Beginning in fiscal year 2007-08, the State Controller shall transfer at the beginning of each fiscal year from General Fund
undedicated revenue the following amounts calculated based on the amount appropriated for general purpose aid for local schools
to the fund during each of the following fiscal years:
A.
[2005, c. 386, Pt. E, §1 (rp).]
B.
[2005, c. 386, Pt. E, §1 (rp).]
C. In fiscal year 2007-08, an amount equivalent to 1.5% of the total amount appropriated for general purpose aid for local
schools; and
[2005, c. 2, Pt. D, §63 (new); §§72, 74 (aff); c. 12, Pt. WW, §18 (aff).]
D. In fiscal year 2008-09 and each fiscal year thereafter, an amount equivalent to 2% of the total amount appropriated for
general purpose aid for local schools.
[2005, c. 386, Pt. E, §1 (amd).]
Any balance remaining in the fund at the end of any fiscal year does not lapse and must be carried forward for the next fiscal
year.
[2005, c. 386, Pt. E, §1 (amd).]
2. Administration; plan for implementation of the fund. The department shall administer the fund or may contract for services for administration of the fund. The commissioner,
in consultation with the Executive Department, State Planning Office and the other agencies, organizations and individuals
determined appropriate by the commissioner, shall establish an implementation plan for the fund that includes, but is not
limited to, the following:
A. The establishment of criteria through which school administrative units and municipalities may demonstrate significant and
sustainable savings in the cost of delivering educational services and improved student achievement through changes in governance,
administrative structure or adopted policy that result in the creation of consolidated school administrative units, broad-based
purchasing alliances, enhanced regional delivery of educational services or collaborative school-municipal service delivery
or service support systems;
[2005, c. 2, Pt. D, §63 (new); §§72, 74 (aff); c. 12, Pt. WW, §18 (aff).]
B. Pursuant to criteria established in accordance with this section, a school administrative unit or municipality may apply
to the commissioner for a distribution from the fund during the period beginning with the start of fiscal year 2005-06 and
ending prior to the end of fiscal year 2008-09; and
[2005, c. 2, Pt. D, §63 (new); §§72, 74 (aff); c. 12, Pt. WW, §18 (aff).]
C. Pursuant to criteria established in accordance with this section, the commissioner may authorize distributions from the
fund in the form of competitive and planning grants.
