1. Section 301. W.S. 21-13-309(o)(i) is amended
to read:
21-13-309. Determination of
amount to be included in foundation program
for each
district.
(o) The revised model amount per ADM for each district computed under
subsection (n) of this
section shall be further adjusted for the following.
Unless otherwise
specified in this subsection, the adjustments under this
subsection shall be
determined as specified in the cost of education study,
dated April 1997, and
the spreadsheet provided by the consultant performing the
study related thereto, both
of which are on file in the legislative service
office:
(i) To the extent
specifically provided by this section, The
amount shall be
adjusted to provide for the effects of inflation; as follows:
(A) For the 2001-2002 school year, increase the amount
by a total
percentage of:
(I) One and three-tenths percent (1.3%), for inflation
for that
school year; plus
(II) Zero percent (0%), for inflation for preceding
school years.
2. (a) Of this
appropriation:
(i) Twenty-nine
million seven hundred sixty-seven thousand three hundred four dollars
($29,767,304.00) is appropriated to be expended as follows during fiscal year
2001:
(A) Twenty million
nine hundred forty thousand six hundred twelve dollars
($20,940,612.00) for a state capital construction grant to Weston county school
district number
one (Newcastle) for a new elementary school and a new high school;
(B) Eight million
eight hundred twenty-six thousand six hundred ninety-two dollars
($8,826,692.00) for a state capital construction grant to Weston county school
district number
seven (Upton) for a new high school;
(C) The department
shall not expend or commit to expend these funds unless the
proposed expenditures by a district will provide adequate facilities for the
education of high
school students within the district;
(D) No revenue
bonds shall be issued under W.S. 21-15-108 to fund appropriations
for state capital construction assistance authorized under this paragraph.
(ii) One million
dollars ($1,000,000.00) is appropriated to be expended for fiscal year
2002 state capital construction assistance that will be recommended by the
state superintendent
before the 2001 general session in accordance with law. The legislature recognizes that state
capital construction assistance recommended by the state superintendent before
the 2001 general
session in accordance with W.S. 21-15-111 will likely far exceed this
appropriation. Given
that uncertainty, the legislature intends this appropriation as a "place
holder" until those
recommendations are submitted, after which the legislature can determine the
appropriate
structure for funding qualifying projects.
3. (a) When the state
superintendent submits school capital construction budget
recommendations to the governor by November 1, 2000, and November 1, 2001, as
required under
W.S. 21-15-111(m), the state superintendent shall also provide the following to
the governor
and to the joint appropriations interim committee with respect to
recommendations for state
capital construction assistance:
(i) An explanation
of the extent to which the state superintendent reduced the amount
for state capital construction assistance for a project by eliminating project
components the
state superintendent determined were not essential for adequate facilities as
authorized under
W.S. 21-15-111(c);
(ii) The state
superintendent's opinion as to whether there are less expensive
alternatives to the project proposed by the district which would provide the
affected students
with adequate school facilities, and if so, a description of those
alternatives; and
Page 21
(iii) The state
superintendent's opinion as to whether there are less expensive ways of
providing components of a project, without eliminating them, and still provide
the affected
students with adequate school facilities.
4.
(a) This footnote and twenty thousand one hundred dollars
($20,100.00) of the capital
construction appropriation in this budget is effective immediately.
(b) The department
of education shall recompute school capital lease grant payments under
W.S. 21-15-105(g) for the 1999-2000 school year as if subsection (c) of this
section were
effective for that school year and make any additional payments for that school
year as soon as
practicable after this footnote is enacted into law. This subsection shall not
affect mill levy
supplement payments made under W.S. 21-15-105(a) for that year.
(c) For the
biennium July 1, 2000, through June 30, 2002, school capital lease grants under
W.S. 21-15-105(g) shall be computed as if the proportion referenced in W.S. 21-15-105(g)(ii)
excluded a deduction for two (2) mills as provided in W.S. 21-15-105(d).
5. (a) For funding public schools
during July 1, 2000, through July 1, 2002, and
notwithstanding W.S. 21-13-318, for the purpose of computing foundation program
amounts under
W.S. 21-13-309(p) for all school districts, the small school adjustment shall
not be allowed
for a school that otherwise qualifies for that adjustment unless:
(i) The school was
established as a separate school within the district before January
1, 2000; and
(ii) The school
met the ADM criteria under W.S. 21-13-318 for a small school based upon
the ADM for that school for the first sixty (60) days of the 1999-2000 school
year. The
qualification in this paragraph does not apply to a school where the reduction
in ADM at the
school resulted solely from a decrease in students in the geographic area and
was not related
to reconfiguration of grades in the school.
(b) The purpose of
this footnote is to limit the creation of new small schools during the FY
2001-2002 biennium except where the small school results from loss of students
in the area the
school serves.
6.
(a) Funds appropriated to the school capital construction account

identified under subsection (b) of this footnote are encumbered and shall be
expended only upon
legislative authorization following the analysis and reporting required under

subsection (b) of this footnote, the state department of education shall pay
each district an
amount sufficient to prepare schematic design documents for the projects
specified under
subsection (b) of this footnote.
Payments under this subsection shall be adjusted to reflect
any amounts available to the district for purposes of this subsection from
bonded indebtedness.
In addition, payments under this subsection shall not exceed industry standards
as published by
the American Institute of Architects.
Each district shall file schematic design documents for
its respective project or projects with the legislative service office not
later than August 1,
2001.

(d) The
joint appropriations interim committee shall undertake an independent project
value
engineering analysis, an energy efficiency analysis and a safety and security
